Founded in 1942, Pinheiro Neto Advogados is one of the largest law firms in Latin America and one of the most well-established in Brazil. It is a full-service, 350-lawyer firm, with offices in the cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasília. The firm's practice is divided into four major areas: Corporate, Litigation, Tax, and Labor.
With its constant concern for the highest ethical standards, the firm continuously strives to be at the forefront, be it in solving legal problems or meeting the community's interests: Pinheiro Neto Advogados is the first Brazilian law firm to be certified as carbon neutral, further evidencing its commitment to future generations.
Since 1970, the firm has been Brazil's representative at Club de Abogados, an organization that brings together premier law firms in Europe, Latin America and Japan for the purpose of offering their clients the assistance they need within an increasingly global practice.
The firm was named "Latin American Firm of the Year" for the second consecutive time in 2010 by Chambers&Partners. It was also recognized as "Brazil Firm of the Year" by Who's Who Legal for the fifth consecutive time (2006 through 2010), among other national and international legal awards.
