uct cycles are increasingly shorter and com-
petitive forces can squash the less prepared.

anticipate risks and safeguard rights and ob-
ligations.

have a multidisciplinary team with solid ex-
perience and a unique view of the corporate
legal environment, in order to help our clients
negotiate contracts from top to bottom.

eryday demands more secure and efficient,

the Japanese culture and the way
of doing business in Japan, as well

We have built lasting relationships
with our Japanese clients, providing

professionals who participate in ex-
change programs with our legal

nese lawyers who want to broaden
their knowledge about Brazil.
The Japanese community in Brazil is
one of the largest in the world and
Japan has invested in a number of
different business segments in the
country. This is a promising scenar-
io, in which we can offer high quali-
ty technical services, literally talking
the same language as our clients.
