About
Provided by HNaves Advogados
HNaves' practice is different from other firms because it is very specialized in one specific and highly complex area of law, and it offers its clients the possibility of having a more accessible cost than large law firms, and more flexibility, maintaining the quality of a full-service firm – but with a differentiated efficiency, given the service provided directly by the partner in a lean structure.
The firm has a variety of clients which includes regulated financial institutions, payments institutions, fintechs, securitization companies, fund managers, asset managers, securities consulting firms, and foreign clients, both from the investor side and the financial industry.
Through collaboration arrangements with other law firms, HNaves provides strategic banking and finance assistance to companies and regulated institutions, and has access to other areas of the law, such as tax, real property, environmental, labour, white-collar crime, insurance, intellectual property, litigation, and arbitration. As so, our assistance encompasses clients from the whole country and also from other jurisdictions, such as the US, Europe and Asia.
