The business arm of Brazil Legal Shield. Market entry, company formation, contracts, tax structure, hiring, and disputes — handled by OAB-licensed Brazilian attorneys in English, on flat fees agreed before any work begins.
Brazil Legal Shield is best known for helping individuals move to, invest in, and build a life in Brazil. Brazil Business Law is the same firm, the same attorneys, and the same single point of contact — pointed at companies instead of people. If you are a foreign business entering Brazil, an investor acquiring a Brazilian company, or an established operation that needs local counsel that actually answers, this is your page.
Brazil rewards companies that set up correctly and punishes the ones that improvise. A foreign-owned entity can own 100% of a Brazilian company in almost every sector — but the structure work underneath it (resident representation, central-bank capital registration, the right tax regime, enforceable contracts) is what separates an operation that runs from a CNPJ that becomes a liability. We do that work, explain it in English, and price it as a flat fee before we start.
Foreign companies in Brazil tell us the same story they tell us as individuals: slow replies, fees that drift, and documents in Portuguese they're told to "just sign." We built the firm to fix exactly that — and the standard doesn't change because the client is a company.
Formation, a contract, a deal — you get a written scope and a flat fee before work starts. No hourly meters running quietly in the background.
Every message answered within one business day, for the life of the engagement — the response standard your in-house team expects.
Engagement letters, contracts, corporate resolutions, and legal opinions arrive in English by default — bilingual where both sides must truly understand the text.
Formation, tax, labor, contracts, and disputes under one engagement — and runnable remotely by power of attorney, without flying executives in.
Tell us the business goal — entry, acquisition, hiring, a contract. A lawyer replies within one business day and we map what the Brazilian side actually requires.
Entity type, ownership, capital, resident representation, and tax regime decided and written down — with a flat fee — before anything is filed.
Articles at the board of trade, CNPJ, central-bank registration of your capital, municipal and sector licenses, and the file Brazilian banks expect to open an account.
Contracts, a compliance calendar, employment support, and disputes when they arise — the same single point of contact, in English, at agreed fees.
Several pieces of business work have their own in-depth practice pages. Everything below routes back to the same engagement and the same contact.
Describe the goal — entry, an acquisition, a contract, a hire. A lawyer replies within one business day with real questions and a written flat-fee quote. Same firm, same contact, no obligation.
