BrunellaLaw Chambers

Cross-border law · Brazil, Portugal and the Middle East

A law firm working across two legal systems: Brazilian and Portuguese.

Brunella Law Chambers advises companies, financial institutions and families whose transactions, contracts and assets cross the border between Brazil and Europe. The lawyer in charge is admitted to the Bars of both countries and personally conducts every matter, from the first opinion to the final appeal.

The practice focuses on foreign trade and regulation, with particular experience in the gold and critical-minerals chain; on tax and white-collar litigation; on corporate law and cross-border contracts; and on estates, company formation and nationality in Portugal.

We act in São Paulo, Brasília, Rio de Janeiro and Lisbon, in Portuguese, English, Spanish and Arabic, for clients in Brazil, the European Union and the Middle East.
