An active practice in the Superior Courts and careful attention to trends allows us to identify risks and opportunities for our clients as Brazil’s highest courts shape the law.
Our team is ready to propose bold and effective strategies that take into account the particularities of each case entrusted to us. We employ creative and innovative techniques that maximize efficiency, aimed at achieving a quick and effective result in our clients’ strategic cases. We act both in cases that originate with BMA, working closely with other practice areas within our firm, and in conjunction with other law firms that practice before the regional courts.
Our knowledge of the inner workings of Brazil’s highest courts means that we can take a handcrafted approach to each case, ensuring that it stands out from the high volume of proceedings that flow into the courts. We give clients precise and informed support, from drafting appeals to the Superior Court of Justice (STJ – Superior Tribunal de Justiça), the Supreme Federal Court (STF – Supremo Tribunal Federal) and the Superior Labor Appeals Court (TST – Tribunal Superior do Trabalho) to preparing briefs, attending in chambers, and making oral arguments. We also act for amici curiae in cases that will result in binding precedents and restatements of the law, taking part in public hearings and judgment sessions.
