Clear advice on prospects, cost and strategy before a dispute escalates — and firm representation when it does, in court, at mediation or in arbitration.
Most disputes are resolved before a hearing, and the ones that are not are won on preparation. We advise early on the strength of a position and the cost of pursuing it, use negotiation and mediation where they will work, and litigate where they will not.
Cross-border disputes — a contract governed by Brazilian law, a judgment to enforce in Portugal, a party in New Zealand — are a particular strength, because we can read the foreign law and documents ourselves.
We assess the claim or defence, the evidence and the likely cost, and recommend a route — settle, mediate, arbitrate or litigate.
Pleadings, evidence and expert reports are prepared; negotiation continues in parallel where it may resolve the matter.
We appear or brief counsel, and enforce the outcome — including abroad — when it is obtained.
Yes. A frank view of prospects and cost at the start is the most valuable advice we give.
Foreign judgments must be recognised by the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) before enforcement in Brazil. We handle the recognition and the enforcement.
Yes — as counsel in domestic and international arbitrations and in applications to enforce or resist awards.
A short message with the countries involved is enough to start. We reply within one business day.
