Our team's expertise allows it to provide philanthropic organizations and advance social impact initiatives with innovative and secure legal solutions


We were the first Brazilian full-service law firm to create a practice area exclusively dedicated to advising non-profit organizations. For over 20 years, our team has been committed to handling matters regarding philanthropy and initiatives related to social impact and transformation for a wide array of organizations.


We closely monitor and drive developments within the sector, offering innovative and secure legal solutions to non-profit organizations and companies engaging in corporate social responsibility initiatives, especially related to areas such as education, healthcare, promotion and defense of rights, as well as culture, environment, and human rights. Moreover, we support families in planning their projects for social private investments. In the impact economy field, we work customizing businesses, investment funds, and specific socio-environmental bonds, among other services.


Our Social Impact & Philanthropy practice also harnesses the firm’s full-service model to meet specific demands in areas such as Intellectual Property, Data Privacy, Compliance, and Labor, tailoring these demands to the realities of our non-profit clients.
