Presentation: We are a full-service law firm that was founded in 1956. Since our founding, one of our most basic principles is the careful selection of new lawyers, allowing us to maintain the level of excellence for which we have become known. We have chosen to gradually increase our number of partners and associates to allow for organic growth over our 60-year history. This has enabled us to broaden the areas in which we work. We organize our work teams to meet our clients’ needs, based on the nature of each case and each lawyer’s individual abilities. Because of the full range of services we offer and the quality of our lawyers, at Motta Fernandes we provide excellence in legal services in a wide range of areas, including in cases involving highly complex issues. We have offices in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, as well as correspondents throughout Brazil and abroad. This allows us to provide the services required for a wide range of transactions and legal needs. We currently represent domestic and foreign clients in a variety of business areas, including capital markets, banking and financial services, automobiles, aeronautics, construction, energy, petroleum and gas, real estate and technology, among others.
