Areas of Practice

Cross-Border Business Formation & Expansion

I assist entrepreneurs and companies expanding operations between Brazil, the U.S., and Latin America. Whether you're launching a startup, opening a Brazilian subsidiary, or forming a strategic alliance, I provide legal consulting based on Brazilian law and international legal frameworks, backed by formal training in U.S. legal systems. I guide clients in selecting structures, managing compliance, and entering new markets with confidence.

Note: All legal advice is based on Brazilian law.

Contract Review & Negotiation

I draft, review, and negotiate contracts under Brazilian law — including NDAs, service contracts, joint ventures, and more. I also assist Brazilian clients reviewing foreign contracts and collaborate with licensed U.S. counsel where needed. My international legal education supports clear, strategic, and culturally sensitive negotiation outcomes.

Intellectual Property Strategy & Protection

I help clients develop IP strategies aligned with Brazilian and international best practices. Services include trademark and copyright registration in Brazil, licensing support, and IP portfolio planning. For multinational IP concerns, I offer coordinated strategies in collaboration with global counsel.

Market Entry Strategy & Legal Risk Assessment

I offer market entry legal assessments for companies entering Brazil or Latin America, including regulatory insights, partner vetting, and business structure evaluation. My training in International Law from SMU (Dallas, TX) equips me to also assist Brazilian clients exploring U.S. market entry — providing a cultural and legal bridge to U.S. business practices.

Legal & Cultural Advisory for International Transactions

I guide businesses through the complexities of international transactions — beyond contracts. I help navigate regulatory differences, negotiation styles, and local business customs in Brazil, the U.S., and Latin America. My cross-border legal education helps ensure that both legal and cultural risks are minimized.

Legal Due Diligence for International Partnerships

Before forming partnerships, I provide due diligence under Brazilian legal standards, including reviewing contracts, corporate records, licenses, and compliance documentation. My background in International Law supports broader assessments in collaboration with legal professionals across jurisdictions.
