For U.S. companies, entering the Brazilian market offers immense opportunities but presents one formidable challenge: the complexity of its Administrative Law. From health surveillance (ANVISA) and tax compliance (Receita Federal) to public procurement (Licitações), navigating the Brazilian regulatory environment requires more than just legal advice—it requires strategic expertise in Administrative Procedures.

Core Areas of Expertise for International Stakeholders:

• Public Procurement & Government Contracts (Licitações): We ensure U.S. bidders comply with every nuance of Brazilian bidding laws, securing their rights in multi-million dollar public tenders and infrastructure projects.

• Regulatory Agency Compliance (ANVISA, Agências Reguladoras): Strategic management of licensing and permits, ensuring that healthcare, energy, and telecommunications firms meet strict Brazilian standards without costly delays.

• Federal Tax Administrative Procedures (Receita Federal): Navigating federal tax disputes and compliance to protect international assets from administrative overreach.

• Administrative Litigation & Career Reclassification (Enquadramento): Managing the human capital risks within the public sector, ensuring legal stability for Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs).
