Castro Barros Advogados

Castro Barros Advogados is one of the most respected law firms in Brazil, rendering services to business clients throughout Brazil and the world in a broad range of practice areas. Established in São Paulo in 1953, new offices were set up in Rio de Janeiro in 1974, and Brasília in 2001. We also have correspondent offices in all major Brazilian cities. In the international arena, the firm has had an associate office in Lisbon since the 80’s, which helps in advising clients doing business in the EU and in the Portuguese speaking African countries. Castro Barros has well established professional relationships with firms around the globe and is also a member of regional and worldwide law firm networks. In all that we do, in all our practice areas, we never lose sight of the business objectives of our clients. We always do our utmost to provide clear, objective and timely responses. Our philosophy is not to try to be all things to all people, but to achieve excellence in each of our practice areas. These areas have been carefully chosen to provide the scope to meet the principal needs of Brazilian and international businesses, while preserving the personal aspect of the attorney-client relationship which we feel is essential. Every case is assigned to one of our partners as the lead attorney, who depending on the scope of the matter supervises a multidisciplinary team of associate lawyers and support staff. Our overarching goal is to satisfy our clients by providing efficient as well as precise advice and representation, with no wasted effort.
