About

Provided by Azevedo Sette Advogados

Our group has broad subject-matter expertise and a unique (and significantly growing) project portfolio. No other law firm in Brazil has had a comparable book of matters in terms of global reach, complexity, and impact in the past five years. Our proven track record includes mandates granted to us after extensive quality analysis of the available trade law offer in the Brazilian market.

In 2024-2025, we have broken new ground and grew further: (1) consolidating our name as the foremost firm representing Brazilian exporters facing the most important antidumping and countervailing duty investigations against Brazil in the United States (ferrosilicon and corrosion resistant steel) and Europe (manganese and silicon-based alloys and silicon metal, and softwood plywood), (2) establishing ourselves as the go-to firm for international trade issues affecting the renewable energy sector in Brazil, and (3) winning a competitive bid to work for CAMEX (the Brazilian Foreign Trade Chamber) on trade finance, a project in cooperation with the United Nations Programme for Development (UNDP), and, again, delivering a highly-regarded outcome.

Our broad industry expertise noticeably includes: chemicals, plastics, airspace, defense and security, agribusiness, energy and renewables, mining, steel and metallurgy, ferroalloys, wood products, glass, fiberglass, fashion and luxury goods, electronics, telecom, food and beverage, houseware appliance, consumer goods, and e-commerce.
