Founded in 1967 in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, by our founding partner Ordélio Azevedo Sette (81 years old), as a mining-focused office in the city, it adopted this approach to expand far beyond its Minas Gerais base, becoming one of the most widely recognized and qualified full-service law firms in Brazil.

Minas Gerais state is a reference to the market, other law firms and companies. Azevedo Sette has participated in several projects and transactions related to this sector in the past 55 years. The firm is well-known for its ability to successfully analyse the legal aspects of potential and current Mergers and Acquisitions projects and operations developed in Brazil, to assess legal obligations, negotiation, elaboration and execution of contracts for large companies in Brazil.
