Legal Advice in Connection with Brazil-Related Transactions
While we are global-minded professionals, adept at advising clients with international legal and business needs, The Fidelis Law Group is uniquely positioned to offer clients doing business or planning to do business in Brazil, or involved in Brazil-related transactions the advice of U.S. lawyers experienced in working on Brazil-based transactions, who are accustomed to working seamlessly with Brazilian lawyers and who are knowledgeable about Brazilian law, business and culture.

Legal Advice for Brazilian Clients Doing Business in the U.S.
Often, Brazilian companies doing business in the U.S. or with a U.S.-based company rely exclusively on the legal advice of their Brazilian lawyers.  As a result, such clients often do not receive the legal advice they need, they accept terms and conditions which are disadvantageous to them, and risk unnecessary expose to unknown liabilities, which could be easily avoided with the proper legal advice from a U.S. lawyer.

The Fidelis Law Group is uniquely situated to provide Brazil-based clients doing business or planning to do business in the U.S. or planning to enter into transaction with a U.S.-based company, with the U.S. legal advice needed to effectively structure and negotiate their business opportunities or U.S.-related transactions.

Through The Fidelis Law Group, Brazilian companies involved in a U.S.-related transaction are able to engage an experienced U.S. attorney to work along side their Brazilian legal counsel.  Working seamlessly with the client’s Brazilian lawyers, our lawyers are able to provide the Brazilian client with the U.S. legal advice the client needs to effectively maximize its business opportunities while minimizing its legal risks.

Our services include the full range of corporate, tax and intellectual property services required to establish the company and initiate its business activities.
