About Us: Oliveira Lawyers
Our Vision
Oliveira Lawyers is a law firm founded by Brazilian lawyers specializing in representing foreign individuals and companies with interests in Brazil. We work hard to be known as the main law firm dedicated exclusively to serving foreign clients in Brazil. Our professionals are truly fluent in English and Portuguese and we operate with the same service standards you would experience in countries such as the US and the UK.
Our Selective Approach
As a boutique firm, we work with only a handful of cases each time. We always evaluate first if we are a good match for your needs. If we accept work on your behalf, you will have our full attention and dedication to achieving your goals in Brazil.
You can check our practices to know if we provide the service you are looking for. Answers to your questions about Brazil, your case, and how we can help you are answered within a consultation over Zoom or phone call. The fee paid for our consultation is applied in full as credit towards our legal services.
The Ideal Match
We are a good match for clients who value their time and are looking for a one-stop solution for their problems. If you already have a network in Brazil and can speak Portuguese, you may be better off hiring local attorneys practicing at local fees. Our cross-border practice, the quality of our professionals, and our presence in the US require that we charge a fee similar to those charged in the US.
Our Experience
Our attorneys have represented foreign parties in Brazil in hundreds of cross-border transactions and legal cases. Our experience with the representation of foreign citizens started in 2006 when Leonidas Oliveira, the late father of our managing partner Luciano Oliveira, joined forces with one of the leading law firms in California to work on a massive cross-border legal case. Since then, we have assisted clients from all continents with business and real estate acquisitions, investments in general, contracts, probates, and conflict resolution in Brazil.
Our managing partner completed his law degree at the University of Sao Paulo (USP), the foremost law school in Brazil. He is also licensed in Texas and California having passed the tough attorney examinations in both states on the first try. Still, in his words, “our degrees and licenses will matter only to the extension that we can help our clients achieve their goals in Brazil.”
The Value We Add
We offer a one-stop solution for your problems. Once we take you on board, we will guide you through the many challenges Brazil represent to foreign clients. We will steer you away from bad deals, scams, and nonsense. We will guide you to achieve your goals in the safest and fastest way possible. We will bring in other professionals such as bankers, accountants, realtors, translators, and others when needed.
Don’t want to waste time calling a bunch of people? Don’t want to learn how things work in Brazil the hard way? Don’t want to risk your money with legal providers who don’t understand your needs and background? We may be the right choice for you.
