About

Provided by Cescon, Barrieu, Flesch & Barreto Advogados

Cescon Barrieu’s Rio de Janeiro tax department has experienced a notorious growth in the last five years both in our advisory and litigation areas. This can be easily vouchered by the number of new clients that our practice has been serving and by the significant number of high-profile cases in our portfolio. We have a relevant market share in the energy and oil and gas sector which are one the main economic fields in Rio de Janeiro.

Our greater strength is the commitment of our team in providing creative solutions to our clients’ challenges. This goal is achieved through a deep dedication from our partners and lawyers in finding customized solutions, meeting our clients’ needs. The way we deal with the problems submitted to our analysis keeps our firm apart from the ones that provide standardized tax answers. This is a fundamental characteristic in a global world where the business evolves in a much faster way than the legal tax framework.
