Brazil’s power to attract international investors has become irresistible.

They explore every issue likely to be important to investors, including the following:

  • competition, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures;
  • contractual clauses, statutory requirements on specific agreements;
  • tax incentives available for infrastructure projects;listing and offering requirements in capital and securities markets;
  • licensing, franchising, and other intellectual property agreements;
  • civil proceedings, arbitration, and the mechanisms of dispute resolution;
  • the structure of the Brazilian judiciary system;
  • rules on conflicts of law and competence of jurisdiction;
