About

Provided by Azevedo Sette Advogados

We are champions of rules-based international trade.We are a well-equipped international trade law practice group with broad subject-matter expertise and a unique project portfolio. We are confident that no other law firm in Brazil has had a comparable book of matters in terms of global reach, complexity, and impact in the past several years, and especially in 2024. Our proven track record includes mandates granted to us after extensive quality analysis of the available trade law offer in the Brazilian market.

 

In 2023-2024, we have advised clients on cross-border trade matters in the European Union, the United States, China, Canada, Australia, Indonesia, Chile, South Africa, Turkey, and Brazil. 


We are unique for having global and local expertise, for adopting a combined policy, economic and legal viewpoint, and for our tireless, around-the-clock advice to multinational enterprises, sovereign governments, international organizations, trade associations and major international law firms. We have successfully worked as global and regional coordinating counsel for companies with global and regional trade concerns. These mandates expose us to the law and practice in other jurisdictions and to the experience of invaluable specialized partners abroad.

 

Our international trade team also works together with other departments at the firm, including tax (for customs), compliance and investigations, regulatory and corporate, to offer integrated solutions.
