Legal Representation in Brazil: Our Solutions
Corporate Attorney-in-Fact in Brazil
Brazilian law requires companies with foreign ownership to maintain a resident attorney-in-fact in Brazil for legal representation before authorities, banks and third parties. We act as local corporate representative, ensuring legal compliance, legal security and operational continuity, without the need for physical presence of foreign partners or executives.
Local Administrator / Director
Certain corporate structures in Brazil require the appointment of a resident administrator or director. We offer a professional local director who operates strictly within legal limits and bylaws, ensuring regulatory compliance without interfering with the group's strategic management.
Attorney for Non-Resident Administrator
Foreign administrators must appoint an attorney in Brazil to receive notifications and legal representation. We provide this service technically and securely, allowing non-resident executives to operate in Brazil without unnecessary exposure or travel.
Attorney for Non-Resident Board Member
Foreign board members participating in Brazilian companies need local legal representation. We act as attorney for non-resident board members, ensuring compliance with Brazilian law and alignment with best corporate governance practices.
Understanding Brazil's regulatory context is essential for secure operations. For a broader view of the requirements and available models, see our guide on how foreign companies can operate legally in Brazil.
