We manage complex requirements with profound technical expertise, supported by a specialised and multidisciplinary team that delivers innovative, efficient, and secure solutions. Our approach entails meticulous consideration of all aspects and variables of our clients' businesses.

Founded by partners Marcelo Bertoldi and James Marins, who are both lecturers in various law courses across Brazil and authors of textbooks used by universities and technical colleges for law careers, our practice primarily focuses on corporate and tax law. Marcelo specialises in corporate governance, having previously served on the board of the Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance, while James is an expert in tax law. These domains constitute the majority of our projects.

In corporate law, the Marins Bertoldi team comprises highly specialised professionals in Corporate Governance, Corporate and Succession Planning, Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A), Contracts, and Corporate Litigation. We offer advisory services, engage in negotiations, and assist in the professionalisation and succession planning of family businesses. Our team also includes a psychologist who facilitates the management of sensitive issues among parties involved. We handle both advisory and litigious matters in the judiciary or through arbitration. In M&A operations, we are equipped to represent either buyers or sellers.

Moreover, our firm has a strong foothold in environmental law, which is pivotal for the success of clients in various sectors. We provide preventative consulting as well as representation in administrative and judicial proceedings. A key focus area is implementing ESG practices in companies, where our multidisciplinary team aids in identifying the maturity stage of companies concerning these practices and plans and executes improvement projects.

In the realm of Tax Law, our team offers consulting and litigation services, with seasoned lawyers experienced in auditing and accounting practices. We concentrate on tax planning, credit recovery, and handling high-complexity demands at the Municipal, State, and Federal levels.

Our clients, predominantly medium and large enterprises, hail from diverse sectors including agribusiness, energy, industry, food and beverages, transportation, retail, construction, and education.
