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.

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.
A practice built around the mobility of people and businesses across jurisdictions.
Structuring and resolving matters that cross borders and distinct legal systems.
Visas, residence permits, regularisation and professional mobility between Brazil, France and Europe.
Contracts, companies and operations of businesses active across multiple jurisdictions.
Supporting Brazilians in France with technical rigour, empathy and discretion.
Consultations are held in Portuguese, French, English or Spanish, in person in Paris or remotely anywhere in the world.
Every client is supported with technical rigour, empathy and discretion — the traits that define how the firm understands the law: French refinement, solid roots and a truly global reach.
