About

Provided by VMCA Advogados

We work with our clients to formulate business strategies that fulfill company goals in full compliance of Brazilian antitrust law.


VMCA works to meet the specific needs of each client, which may encompass both the design of the case strategy and the representation of their interests in administrative and judicial proceedings.


Our multi-levelled analysis integrates a broad range of angles and theoretical perspectives surrounding the substantial, institutional and political issues at stake and relevant and potentially useful factors from the international experience without losing sight of the particularities of the Brazilian context.


We also assist clients in the design and execution of competition compliance strategies for companies involved in unfair trade competition, which are accused of or subject to the employment of fraudulent or illicit means to obtain competitive advantages or to harm competitors by unfairly gaining market share.
