About

Provided by Vieira Rezende
Brazil: Regions
Vieira Rezende is a full-service Law Firm composed of professionals with a multidisciplinary practice, representing clients in a wide range of sectors in both industrial and services activities in Brazil.


Historically, the Firm was established in 1995 while significant changes were redefining the Brazilian economy. The young founding partners invested in creating a Law Firm capable of providing high-quality corporate and tax advice to a new business environment in a changing country.


Other areas of law have been added, enhancing the Firm’s capabilities towards a full-service practice, accumulating tremendous experience during the years of privatization and public service concession, participating in historic operations such as the privatization of Vale, the privatization of the electricity sector and the telecommunications sector, as well as the restructuring of the financial and steel industries.


Our DNA

Since its founding, Vieira Rezende has been representing or interacting with leading economic groups, financial agents, institutional investors, and government agents, developing significant expertise and securing its place among Brazil's leading business law firms.


Our teams have participated in some of the biggest deals that have taken place over the past two decades, building a successful track record of projects and cases in crucial areas of the economy, such as infrastructure, logistics (ports, airports, railways, highways), oil and gas, shipping and offshore, electric sector, mining, agribusiness, heavy industry, financial and capital markets, education, and technology, among others.


The firm has a prominent role in several law practice areas, such as Corporate/M&A, Banking & Finance, Infrastructure & Projects, Oil, Gas & Offshore, Maritime, and Tax.


International Alliance

In 2011, Vieira Rezende and Wikborg Rein, a leading Norwegian Law Firm in the Oil, Gas & Offshore area, decided to establish an international alliance to provide a robust platform on which Norwegian and European companies could rely for developing their shipping & offshore, oil & gas and infrastructure activities as a whole.


Vieira Rezende's Norwegian Desk benefits from this alliance due to both firms' unique knowledge of international players in all areas of the O&G, Shipping, and Offshore industries, such as companies, banks, P&I clubs, and certifying agencies.
