Banking

We act in the financial sector on advisory, regulatory and contentious matters, advising financial institutions, companies and other market participants on transactions, disputes and regulatory issues. Our experience includes judicial and administrative proceedings, the structuring of financial transactions and matters relating to Brazil’s National Financial System.

We aim to provide legal certainty in an environment marked by regulatory change, technological innovation and high exposure to operational and reputational risks.

Our work includes:

• Special regimes and resolution: Advice on interventions, extrajudicial liquidations and Temporary Special Administration Regimes (RAET), helping preserve assets and manage institutional crises.
• Strategic and high-volume litigation: Representation of financial institutions in individual and collective proceedings throughout Brazil, combining legal strategy with efficient, technology-enabled portfolio management.
• Regulatory matters and compliance: Advice before the Central Bank of Brazil, the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) and the National Financial System Appeals Council (CRSFN), from the establishment of institutions to ongoing compliance with National Financial System (SFN) regulations.
• Financial innovation: Legal support for the development and structuring of new products and solutions, including Pix, Open Finance, crypto-assets, fintechs and payment institutions.
• Structured financial transactions: Advice on capital raising, funding, receivables securitization and collateral arrangements in domestic and cross-border transactions.
