Borba, Simões Barbosa, Bessone, Cristofaro - BSBC Advogados

BSBC is a law firm that specializes in business deals and strategic litigation.

Business deals handled by the firm include commercial contracts, financing agreements, business associations, and M&A transactions. The litigation practice comprises judicial litigation, arbitration, and administrative proceedings before governmental agencies, such as the CVM (the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission), the Central Bank of Brazil, the Mining Agency – ANM, the National Electric Energy Agency – ANEEL, the National Waterway Transport Agency – ANM, and the National Land Transport Agency – ANTT.

BSBC established an efficient and dynamic structure, without the restraints of a large full-service law firm, prepared to offer the support needed by the clients. BSBC’s partners always keep a direct involvement in all central aspects of the transactions and claims held by the Firm. Whenever those touch areas that go beyond the lawyer’s firm expertise, we rely on the advice of specialized firms with which we maintain a close relationship.

BSBC was founded in May 2018, but its partners have been working together for decades and amass a rich experience in the conduction of high-profile cases in Mining and Environment, Arbitration and Strategic Litigation, M&A/Corporate Law/Private Equity, Commercial Contracts, Intellectual Property, Digital Law and Data Protection, Energy, and Infrastructure, among others. In a number of those areas, they have gathered the recognition of the most important local and international rankings, such as Chambers & Partners (Global and Latin America), Leaders League, The Legal 500, Who’s Who Legal, Lacca, and IFRL 1000.

BSBC’s structure was conceived by the partners with a view to offering clients customized, tailor-made, services, always focused on excellence and teamwork. Nurturing new professionals is also one of BSBC’s main and permanent concerns.

The Firm has been frequently demanded by the so-called midmarket, comprising both strategic cases of medium-sized companies / individuals and medium-sized cases of large companies.

Notwithstanding their own fields of specialization, BSBC´s partners cultivate a multidisciplinary character, based on their encompassing experience, which allows them to identify the most appropriate solution vis-à-vis the peculiarities of each client and project.

Headquartered in Leblon, Rio de Janeiro, and having a strong presence in São Paulo and Brasília, BSBC is also ready to assist clients in any other states of Brazil, as well as in other jurisdictions, with the appropriate support from local firms.
