International Law · Brazil — France — Europe

Legal excellence, global vision and humanity in every case.

More than a law firm, we are a space of trust, strategy and active listening — for people and businesses that live, work or invest between Europe and Latin America.

Franco-Brazilian law

The law that connects France and Brazil, from one side of the Atlantic to the other.

Expatriation to Brazil is the gateway to a far broader engagement: behind every life project come the company you create, sell or grow, the wealth you protect and pass on, the tax you structure — and, with the EU–Mercosur agreement, the trade and customs opening up between the two continents.

A single point of contact, admitted to the Paris and Brazilian bars, who masters both legal cultures and supports each client in both directions across the Atlantic — from the Brazilian investor in France to the French company in Brazil, with technical rigour, discretion and attentiveness.
