We advise and represent our clients in preventive and litigation matters, in the various forms of business disputes. We believe in always seeking the best solution to disputes in the best interests of our clients. We act from preliminary discussions, when the conflict has not yet arisen, in order to prevent or reduce the impact of disputes before the Judiciary, arbitral tribunals, administrative authorities, and regulatory agencies, to setting up and strategically conducting the action plan defined jointly with the client to resolve a dispute. 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.
We have access to specialized knowledge from all practice groups of Machado Meyer, which allows us to develop solid strategies for managing and resolving disputes in relation to specific issues. 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.
