AGRIBUSINESS

Emphasis on advisory services in major Sugar and Alcohol and Commodities operations.

OUR ASSETS:

Agribusiness represents our main field of expertise. We count on a team that is comprised of highly qualified professionals working in the main areas of Corporate Law, including: contracts, mergers and acquisitions, corporate, tax, environmental, civil and corporate litigation, real estate, intellectual property, labor, and compliance. In addition to their high qualification, our partners have decades of experience. Many of these professionals have advised several Brazilian and multinationals and important families from the sugar and alcohol, commodities (grains, fuels, and food), logistics (including port operations) and textile industries throughout their careers.

Given the strong presence and economic importance of this economic industry in our Country, notably in the countryside of the state of São Paulo, in 2015, we opened our principal place of business in the city of Ribeirão Preto so we could be closer to our clients.
