How I work

I work from the facts, the risks, and the objectives.

I advise clients in Brazil and abroad, often on cross-border matters, and work in both Portuguese and English. I begin with the facts, the documents, and the client's objectives. Before proposing a course of action, I work to understand the economic context of the matter, the legal risks involved, the time available, and the alternatives. I see legal practice as a partnership for setting priorities and making decisions with clarity.

My practice and my academic research inform each other. That combination helps me distinguish useful argument from rhetorical flourish, real risk from noise, and sound strategy from improvisation.

Practice areas

Recurring themes in my practice.

The list does not turn legal practice into a catalog. It organizes the matters that appear most often in the cases I handle.

Contracts and legal opinions

I structure contracts, review risks, and prepare legal opinions for decisions that require technical grounding and practical clarity.

Civil liability

I work on the prevention and handling of damages disputes, with attention to evidence, causation, and economic impact.

Corporate matters

I advise on disputes among shareholders, management duties, investor exits, and protecting the company at sensitive moments.

Real estate and construction

I work on real estate transactions, property regularization, and disputes related to construction, purchase, sale, and use of assets.

Wealth and estate planning

I design wealth strategies that bring together contracts, family, succession, tax efficiency, and governance.

Arbitration and the courts

I handle court and arbitration disputes, including cross-border and international arbitration, working across pleadings, memorials, appeals, oral arguments, and evidentiary strategy.

Negotiation and mediation

I conduct negotiations when a consensual solution can preserve value, time, and relationships.

Technology, data, and innovation

I advise on matters involving Brazil's data protection law (LGPD), innovation, artificial intelligence, contracts, and liability in digital environments.
