Career

Marta Saad is a partner in São Paulo and a specialized attorney with broad experience in white-collar defense. She is since 2010 a tenured Professor of Criminal Procedural Law at the Universidade de São Paulo School of Law.

Marta counts over two decades’ experience in white-collar, a period in which she followed closely, both as an attorney and a professor, the many changes to the criminal defense practice in Brazil, particularly the sophistication of international cooperation, the introduction of negotiation mechanisms in criminal prosecution (such as leniency agreements and plea bargains) and greater interfacing with other areas of law.

She represents companies, entrepreneurs and executives, whether conducting their defense or promoting their interests as victims of felonies. Marta worked on most great Brazilian operations following the statutory changes, and on their reflexes abroad. She represented clients in adversarial defense as well as in the negotiation and execution of plea bargains, negotiating with multiple authorities in Brazil and other jurisdictions.
