PRESERVING VALUE IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS SEEKING NEW OPPORTUNITIES. WE ARE PREPARED TO SERVE OUR CLIENTS IN THE MOST DIVERSE FORMS OF DISPUTES, ALWAYS SEEKING THE BEST RESULTS, WITH A HIGH DEGREE OF EFFECTIVENESS, CREATIVITY, AND EFFICIENCY.

We advise and represent our clients in litigation and preventive matters, in the various forms of business disputes. We appear before courts, administrative authorities, and regulatory agencies, participating in arbitrations and assisting in preliminary discussions in order to prevent or reduce the impact of disputes.

We count on the expertise of all practice areas of Machado Meyer. This allows the development of solid dispute management and resolution strategies in relation to specific issues, which not only solve the problem immediately, but also avoid its repetition or reduce its future impacts. One of the highlighted areas is consumer relations, where our lawyers, specialized in consumer law, provide consulting services and administrative and judicial litigation related to the matter.

Aside from the integration with other areas of Machado Meyer, another differential of our practice is our access to highly specialized lawyers, which allows us to provide clients with creative and innovative solutions in a litigation scenario. We have teams with extensive experience in the aviation, energy, telecommunications, sanitation, retail, banking, environment, technology, pharmaceutical, health, food, finance, chemical, education, and communications sectors, among others.

We are also recognized for our work in international litigation and for our extensive network of relationships with leading law firms in many different countries. This allows us to act decisively in disputes that involve various jurisdictions.
