This infrastructure enables high-precision delivery, such as risk mapping to reduce litigation and personalised strategic business intelligence reports.

We invest in well-being via CBADV Fitness and academic growth through CBADV University. Our social commitment includes reserving 2% of our civil caseload for pro bono work, overseen directly by a partner.
Recognition: Repeatedly elected "Most Admired" (2019–2026) by Análise Editorial, we are also ranked among the Top 10 Labour firms in Latin America by Manage HR. In 2025/2026, we were highlighted by Chambers, Leaders League, and achieved 1st place in Legal 500 (Labour – RJ Elite). Partners Pedro Capanema and Pedro Ivo Belmonte, internationally acclaimed, remain benchmarks in the sector as academic leaders and institutional advisors.
