CSMV Advogados is a benchmark in betting and sports legal advice. Since 2023, the firm has been working in the betting & sports area, offering complete and strategic support to betting operators seeking to establish themselves and operate in the Brazilian market. Our differential lies in combining technical excellence with in-depth knowledge of the gaming and sports sectors, efficiently meeting regulatory, administrative and judicial demands.
In May 2024, we further strengthened our performance by incorporating in the Betting and Sports area the partner José Francisco Manssur, a key figure in the regulation of sports betting and online gaming in Brazil. As Special Advisor to the Executive Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Manssur led the implementation of Federal Law No. 14.790/23 and the subsequent Normative Ordinances, bringing to the firm unparalleled experience in the sector.
Our practice stands out for its comprehensive regulatory advice, including interactions with the Ministry of Finance's Secretariat for Prizes and Betting, administrative defence before the Ministry of Finance and action in legal proceedings, such as public civil actions. In addition, we offer support in corporate incorporation and assist fixed-odds betting operators in all stages of their entry and operation in the Brazilian market.
