We provide customized support in the most diverse segments of industry, commerce, and services, such as pharmaceuticals, food, financial, chemical, communications, airlines, health, retail, and education, among others.

By acting on preventive claims, we help our clients develop their business model effectively and safely, minimizing the risk of future litigation relating to consumer rights.

Our professionals have extensive experience in administrative proceedings filed with consumer protection agencies at the federal, state, and municipal levels. One of the great challenges of our area is the concurring jurisdiction among these agencies, which requires coordinated, fast, and sure action, in order to minimize negative impacts for our clients.

Our lawyers specialized in consumer law are always prepared to serve in highly complex and significant cases, before all levels of the Judiciary. Our office in Brasília has a constant, established, and personal practice before the Higher Courts.
