Veirano Advogados is a full-service law firm engaged in a challenging and highly sophisticated national and international practice. Founded in 1972, the firm has 40 years of practice in business law. The firm’s goal is to deliver tailor-made solutions to each client on a timely and cost-effective basis. With 250 attorneys, Veirano Advogados ranks today among the top law firms in Brazil, with offices in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Porto Alegre and Brasília. Veirano Advogados’ team is very experienced in handling complex legal cases and transactions, providing innovative and commercially sound solutions that add value to clients’ business, while ensuring proper risk assessment and allocation.

The firm’s approach consists in identifying and assembling the right team of attorneys to handle each project. Legal services are managed by a supervising partner who identifies and coordinates the services of other professionals with the appropriate expertise to fulfil the different types of assignments.

Veirano Advogados has seen sustainable growth throughout its 40 years of existence, and is continuously striving to be at the forefront of the legal profession. In a groundbreaking initiative among law firms, Veirano Advogados recently set up an advisory board consisting of six leading executives from a variety of backgrounds and industries. The members of the advisory board cannot be clients of the firm or lawyers, which ensures a fresh outlook and independent advice. The advisory board periodically meets with the management committee of Veirano Advogados to advise on the development of the firm’s business. It has contributed immensely to the firm’s market strategy and the identification of major business opportunities.
