This allows the development of solid dispute management and resolution strategies in relation to specific issues, which not only solve the problem immediately, but also avoid its repetition or reduce its future impacts. One of the highlighted areas is consumer relations, where our lawyers, specialized in consumer law, provide consulting services and administrative and judicial litigation related to the matter.

Aside from the integration with other areas of Machado Meyer, another differential of our practice is our access to highly specialized lawyers, which allows us to provide clients with creative and innovative solutions in a litigation scenario.
