We analyze and structure international operations and advise on the inflow and outflow of funds in Brazil. Our team drafts international contracts and supports negotiations for joint ventures and international franchises. We also draft commercial contracts for various international operations, including potential international disputes and arbitrations, as well as immigration law and international corporate structures for investments.

We support the internationalization of Brazilian companies at all stages of the project and the establishment of foreign companies in Brazil. Our advisory guides clients on foreign investments in Brownfield (redevelopment of existing sites) and Greenfield (new projects on undeveloped land) projects. We conduct comparative studies to identify the best opportunities for each segment. Our team structures and reviews the company’s international setup for greater tax efficiency in capital flows between the parent company and subsidiaries, using treaties, special regimes, Brazilian tax treatment on foreign profits (TBU), transfer pricing rules, wealth planning, etc.

We facilitate import and export processes with customs planning and advisory on special customs regimes, optimizing costs through Drawback (tax exemption for imported goods used in exports), tariff exceptions, and differentiated tax treatments. Another important aspect of our work is compliance for foreign trade, including contract review, preventive work, and advisory on Authorized Economic Operator (OEA) certification for customs compliance. Our firm defends companies in trade defense measures involving antidumping, safeguards, countervailing measures, and administrative and judicial defenses in disputes with public and private entities in foreign trade operations.
