Alecrim & Costa Advogados

Alecrim & Costa Advogados is dedicated to offering clients bespoke legal counsel, delving deeply into their businesses to become a committed strategic partner, adept at overcoming challenges and propelling companies through innovation, efficiency, and dedication.

Under the esteemed leadership of partners Paulo Ricardo Alecrim and Daniel dos Santos Costa, the firm has annually expanded its team of specialised professionals, ensuring compliance with the demands of national and foreign authorities and enterprises within the Industrial Pole of the Amazon, where we are headquartered.

The tax incentives offered to industries and companies situated in the Manaus Free Trade Zone are immensely attractive, yet their feasibility is intricate and necessitates experienced and highly specialised legal assistance. Our firm was established with the objective of delivering legal services tailored to this business niche, focusing on the most sophisticated demands of the corporate environment.

Drawing on our extensive experience in assisting companies across various market sectors, alongside consistent investments in technical knowledge and management, we have redefined the role of our lawyers. For many clients, including regional and national companies that are leaders in their sectors, our professionals serve as strategic partners, providing precise and comprehensive support for companies lacking an internal legal department or those requiring additional assistance.

We cater to clients from a diverse array of sectors, including industry, retail, wholesale, healthcare, events, specialised services, telecommunications, and construction.

Since our foundation, the firm has consistently expanded, annually augmenting its team of specialised professionals to meet the rigorous demands of authorities and companies in the Industrial Pole of Manaus. In the past year alone, consolidating our new phase as Alecrim & Costa Advogados, our firm achieved an approximate 60% increase in our portfolio, predominantly comprising leading firms from the Amazon region.
