Manucci Advogados, a renowned corporate law firm, officially announces the opening of its new office in Rio de Janeiro, marking a significant milestone in its national expansion strategy. The new operation will be led by partner Alan Gavinho, a seasoned professional with extensive experience in the Rio legal market, and will primarily focus on serving the oil and gas, infrastructure, real estate, energy, tourism, and technology sectors.
The decision to establish a presence in Rio de Janeiro reflects the strategic importance of the city in Brazil’s economic landscape. With a GDP of R$ 331.3 billion in 2020, according to IBGE data, Rio de Janeiro is the second-largest municipal economy in the country, accounting for 43.95% of the entire GDP of the State of Rio de Janeiro and 4.48% of the national GDP. The city hosts the headquarters of Brazil’s two largest companies — Petrobras and Vale — and is the country’s leading telecommunications hub and a dynamic center for services and business.
“Expanding to Rio de Janeiro is a natural and strategic step in our growth journey,” says Daniel Manucci, Managing Partner at Manucci Advogados. “We recognize the immense economic potential of the state and the complexity of the legal challenges companies face in this market. Our local presence will allow us to offer even closer and more specialized support, effectively contributing to the development of our national and international clients’ businesses.”
