Brazil runs on its own rules — registries, notaries, sworn translations, deadlines buried in Portuguese. We handle every bit of it in plain English, at fixed prices you can read before you commit — shown in your own currency. So nothing here ever catches you off guard.
Common pitfalls
Pick the right residence route and file it correctly the first time.
Buy Brazilian property like someone who reads the registry — no traps.
From resident to Brazilian passport — properly documented.
A Brazilian company you can actually run from anywhere.
Know exactly when Brazil starts taxing you — and on what.
Marriage, união estável, prenups, and divorce — across two legal systems.
Brazilian probate run for heirs who live anywhere else.
When the Brazilian side stops answering, we start.
CPF, apostilles, sworn translations — the layer under every Brazilian process.
Never sign a Portuguese document you haven't understood.
Open the right account, move money in and out on the record, and keep the trail that lets it leave again.
Register your brand at INPI before someone else does — and keep the IP your contractors create.
Organize what you own in Brazil before forced heirship and probate decide for you.
Hire under the CLT without inheriting a labor claim — staff, domestic help, and clean exits.
Tap any service to see its fixed-fee packages and add them to your cart. Prices shown in your selected currency are indicative; the fee is set in Brazilian reais in your engagement letter. Government charges billed at cost; contested litigation is quoted per case.
In Brazil, what the registry says is what you own. We read it before you sign anything.
Brazilian legal work has a reputation with foreigners: slow replies, vague fees, documents you can't read. We built the firm to fix exactly that.
A written scope and a fixed fee before any work starts. No hourly meter, no surprise invoice mid-case.
Every message answered within one business day — and if a government office is the holdup, we tell you that too.
Every Portuguese document comes with an English explanation of what it does and why you're signing it.
A power of attorney lets us close property, open companies, and run probate without you boarding a plane.
From Copacabana to the notary's office, we make Brazil make sense — in plain English.
Every engagement is a one-page letter that states a single fixed fee for a defined scope of work. Government charges are listed separately and billed at cost, with receipts. If the scope changes, we tell you what changed and what it adds — and the work continues only after you approve it in writing. The fee never moves because something simply took longer. Slow government offices are our cost, not yours.
Write in English, or book a strategy call. A lawyer — not a form letter — replies within one business day with the questions that actually matter.
Most work fits a fixed-fee package you can read and pay for online, in your own currency. Anything bespoke gets a written quote within 24 hours. Nothing starts until you approve it.
A status update at every milestone, in English, without asking. Documents arrive translated and explained before you sign anything.
A visa is the start. Living here is the part nobody explains — so we wrote it down.
An honest, practical handbook for actually living in Brazil as a foreigner — what it costs, how healthcare works, where to live, and whether it's safe. Written by the lawyers who relocate people here every week.
A lawyer reads every message. You'll have a real answer — and a fixed-fee package or written quote — within one business day.
