About

Provided by Barroso Fontelles, Barcellos, Mendonça & Associados

Barroso Fontelles, Barcellos, Mendonça & Associados (BFBM Advogados) is a law firm with outstanding expertise in Dispute Resolution and Public Law. We cover both judicial and administrative proceedings, in relation to both contentious and non-contentious matters.


Our firm has trained and recruited lawyers, especially in Rio de Janeiro, and is frequently seen acting before Higher Courts. This involves a wide array of measures, such as strategy elaboration, appeal monitoring, appeals and internal appeals, representation of amici curiae, complaint handling, processes of original jurisdiction of these courts and constitutional remedies, memorial writing, leading cases monitoring, etc.


The firm stands out for its performance before the Higher Courts, especially the Federal Supreme Court (STF) and the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), as well as the Labour Superior Court (TST) and the Federal General Accounting Office (TCU).


We recently expanded our strategic litigation team to meet the demands of a very important client in the Energy, Oil and Gas sector (VIBRA). The team, led by partner Ana Paula de Barcellos and coordinated by Felipe de Barcellos, quickly took on relevant cases of this client and solved, during the last year, high complex files that had lasted for years. As a result, in the past 12 months, the team increased its number of collaborators by 41% and grew 38,33% in revenues handled with complex cases and strategic litigations for VIBRA Energy.
