André Fernandes

Avocat à la Cour (Paris Bar, no. CNBF 133067) and a lawyer admitted to the Brazilian Bar (OAB/MG 212573). A legal bridge between Brazil, France and Europe.

André Fernandes
Career

Technical excellence with a humanist vision.

A French-Brazilian lawyer and founder of Alves Fernandes Avocats, André Fernandes has built a recognised practice in international law, immigration and transnational business — always along the axis between Latin America and Europe.

His education brings together the legal traditions of both sides of the Atlantic: a graduate in Law from PUC Minas and in Public Management from UFMG, he holds a DSU in Public International Law from Université Paris II Panthéon-Assas, one of the most prestigious legal institutions in France. His training in public management gives him a keen command of public procurement and administrative contracts in Brazil — a decisive asset in the era of the EU–Mercosur agreement.

Admitted through the Article 100 examination, which grants him the title of Avocat à la Cour, he practises before the French courts and supports Brazilian and international clients at every stage of their legal journey.
