Belief

United around a common purpose, we are happy!

We believe in happiness, in a creative, welcoming, inclusive, socially transformative and sustainable work environment. We invest in the development of people, and value quality of life.

We use our knowledge to drive business forward and solve complex problems with simplicity.

Creating value in every action, promoting a network of genuine relationships and trail-blazing innovation are part of our entrepreneurial profile.

We strive for a better world. For us at /asbz, actions transcend words.

ESG

/asbz values the application of ESG-related principles in its routines and those of its stakeholders. We want to be an agent of transformation for society, and the protagonists of perennial, sustainable and timeless actions that transcend words.

Below are some of the ESG practices currently adopted by the firm:

System B Certificate

In January 2023, /asbz received B Corp certification, becoming the first major law firm in Brazil to join the global community of leaders focused on building a more inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economic system for people and the planet, in line with our commitment to ESG.

6-month maternity and paternity leave

In 2017, /asbz was one of the first firms in the world to offer 6 (six) months of fully paid maternity and paternity leave, including for cases of adoption and same-sex unions.

Time Sheet is not a criterion for evaluating people

At /asbz, no professional is evaluated based on this criterion, regardless of seniority, but, rather, based on dozens of other individual, collective, tangible and intangible metrics.

Code of Conduct and Ethics, Ethics Committee and Whistleblowing Channel

/asbz has a code of conduct and ethics, an ethics committee and a public whistleblower channel to ensure that all asbz stakeholders adhere to the principles, guidelines and values related to ESG practices.

Diversity and Inclusion

We value people for who they are, regardless of age, sex, gender, sexuality, color, appearance, religion, or other characteristics. We support projects promoting inclusion and diversity, as well as initiatives to train and develop leaders from minorities, aiming to reduce societal and internal imbalances.

Pro bono

In addition to having the social cashback program that generates direct investments in the institutions listed above, /asbz also invests the time of its professionals in campaigns and legal advice.

Social Cashback

/asbz pioneered the Social Cashback Program, in which the financial punctuality of our customers benefits actions that promote social, diversity and inclusion.

Open numbers

Since its inception, /asbz has shared its cost, expense, and income structure with all its lawyers, regardless of seniority or position. This practice promotes transparency within our community of lawyers and helps develop our future managers.

Carbon Neutral

In 2023, /asbz became carbon neutral by purchasing UN-certified carbon credits to offset over 82 tons of carbon emitted in 2022. Additionally, /asbz invested in forest restoration by planting 580 tree seedlings in agroforestry systems.
