We have a team of professionals with over a decade of experience and prominent performance in Brazil and abroad in matters related to the following areas:
- Anti-Corruption Certifications (ISO 37001, DSC 10.000 and Pró-Ética)
We have solid experience in assisting clients to obtain anti-corruption certifications and to create and enhance policies and procedures to comply with anti-corruption regulations. One of the partners of the firm was a member of the Editorial Drafting Group of ISO 37001, led the Brazilian delegation involved in the discussions of the standard and is a course instructor at Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas (ABNT).
- Due diligence of third parties, supply chain and corporate transactions
We have specialized technical knowledge in conducting due diligences on third parties, supply chain and within the context of mergers & acquisitions transactions, which provides us with a unique perspective to bring practical solutions to mitigate risks to our clients.
- Judicial and administrative litigation
Having worked in some of the most significant cases in Brazil, we provide a distinctive and attentive perspective. We are specialized in defending our clients’ interests in administrative and judicial matters related to anti-bribery laws, general law for government tenders and contracts and administrative improbity law before the Office of the Comptroller General (CGU), federal, state and municipal public administration control bodies and before federal and state courts.
- Corporate Governance
We evaluate company’s corporate governance practices and help clients implement related policies and procedures, as well as in the creation and implementation of boards of directors and their committees.
- Internal investigations
Due to our unique approach to internal investigations, we led some of Brazil’s most complex cases. We provide experience and excellence in internal investigations related to:
- Corruption
- Money laundering
- Accounting fraud
- Acts against the Public Administration
- Anti-competition
- Codes of conduct and internal policies violations
- Quality control matters
- Data security breaches and personal data related issues
- Workplace behavior misconduct (g., sexual and moral harassment, discrimination, etc.)
- Human rights violations
- Safety and environmental issues
- Among others.
We conduct independent and comprehensive internal investigations: focusing not only on the specific allegation, but also on other factors, including corporate governance issues and structural, financial and organizational cultural aspects that may contribute to violations.
- Post-agreement monitorship
We also gather relevant achievements in monitorship cases, as we provided support to the Independent Monitor appointed by American authorities in one of the largest fraud cases in the world. Moreover, in another case, with duties assigned by the Brazilian Public Prosecutor’s Office, we monitored the implementation of improvements on the Compliance program and internal controls of a company involved in the Carwash Operation.
- Negotiation of resolutions with authorities
We were pioneers and work with excellence with Brazilian and foreign authorities. We worked on matters related to Brazilian anticorruption laws as well as on several cases of international importance. Our attorneys worked on the first case of a Brazilian multinational company investigated for FCPA violations and have solid experience in negotiating leniency agreements, early judgment, ANPC, etc.
- Crisis management and prevention
We assist in the management of complex crisis, accompanying search and seizure procedures, reviewing press releases, as well as interacting with authorities and other counterparts.
- Anti-money laundering
After a thorough and precise analysis of the situation of each company, we deliver legal opinions, develop policies and conduct trainings related to prevention of money laundering (or AML).
- Risk assessment for implementation and enhancement of compliance programs
Based on detailed-oriented work and experience with different industry sectors, we assist our clients with the implementation and enhancement of compliance programs in accordance with applicable legislation. We assist in mapping and managing compliance and corporate integrity risks including ESG aspects, conducting effectiveness tests, assessing the cultural and organizational environment, enhancing governance structures and developing policies and trainings.
