BMA's litigation and arbitration team acts in some of the biggest disputes in the Brazilian corporate world and the results we obtain for our clients show how dedication and solid legal knowledge combined with carefully planned and executed strategies can lead to success. 

In addition to business and civil litigation, BMA's litigation group acts in conflict prevention and complex negotiations and arbitrations in Brazil and in other countries. In international disputes, BMA's own litigators, who have earned international recognition for their work, work in association with foreign law firms to ensure our clients have complete legal support.  

In Brazil, BMA acts before courts of all levels of jurisdiction, with emphasis on tax and business and matters before Brazil's highest courts, and advises clients in some of the most complex arbitration proceedings in the country.
