Firm Overview

Abreu, Goulart & Santos Advogados is a boutique law firm focused on tax, social security law, corporate and M&A. It was founded in 2014, in Rio de Janeiro by a team of lawyers who had already been working together at another law firm. The founding partners have all been working together for over 16 years, which is excellent for clients looking for hands-on, seamless work, with solid processes in place.

Main Areas of Practice

Tax: Tax law is the firm’s focus, with the team being most notably active on tax litigation matters. The group is particularly knowledgeable of federal and state taxes, such as ICMS, but also excels on municipal taxes, such as IPTU and ISS, and specific, sector-related fees and tributes. Its portfolio of services includes representation on matters involving direct and indirect taxation, transfer pricing, judicial and administrative litigation, tax planning, due diligence, and tax credit recovery. The firm is particularly well regarded for its strength acting on tax theses and infraction notices cases, where they have a high success rate, with over R$1 billion in total tax burden saved for their clients.
