About

We advise and represent our clients in preventive and litigation matters, in the various forms of business disputes. Our focus is on solving problems in order to prepare the best approach to managing the issues and seeking a result that suits the client's needs.

Our focus is not only to solve the problem immediately, but also to prevent its recurrence or reduce future impacts. One example is our work in the area of consumer relations, in which our lawyers specializing 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. We have teams with extensive experience in various industries, such as aviation, energy, telecommunications, sanitation, retail, banking, the environment, technology, pharmaceuticals, health, food, finance, chemicals, education, and communications.

We are also recognized for our work in international litigation and for our extensive network of relationships with leading law firms in many different countries. These connections allow us to act decisively in disputes involving various jurisdictions.
