Balera, Berbel & Mitne Advogados

The firm’s history started back in 1999, when Wagner Balera retired from the Brazilian National Social Security Institute (INSS) to found his social security boutique law firm. Wagner is a national authority in matters concerning social security taxation. In 2017, the boutique expanded to include a big group of social security lawyers, being since known as Balera, Berbel & Mitne Advogados. We now act on tax, labour, corporate and capital markets mandates, including investment funds.
