What the Team is Known For

Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton benefits from a team of seasoned specialists in white-collar defence and investigations. It is highly rated for representing major clients from the food, banking, investment fund and mining sectors in complex FCPA investigations by the DOJ and SEC, corruption scandals and enforcement actions. The firm's additional capabilities include anti-corruption due diligence and assessment of compliance programmes. High-profile clients in Brazil frequently rely on the team's assistance for high-stake and sensitive matters.

Strong technical knowledge and ability to report complex cases to the client in a simple manner. Great service and always ready for a quick response.

They know a lot about Latin American culture and are a good office option for Brazilian clients who need legal assistance from an American law firm.

Cleary has a great team who knows Brazil well.
