Industry

​We are known for our advisory and litigation work in complex, landmark cases faced by companies from various industrial sectors.

BMA’s industry team acts in all phases of investment and divestment in industrial enterprises from virtually all segments – chemicals, pharmaceuticals, automobiles, auto parts, machinery, aviation, manufacturing, and civil and naval construction, to name a few. We provide legal support to clients seeking new or additional capital, participate in negotiations for implementation of new lines of business, and act for companies in corporate disputes and antitrust matters, in addition to advising on matters specific to regulated sectors. For each project, we put together a team of partners and associates with experience in different areas of the law. Many of our lawyers have become references in specific segments, and we take advantage of our lawyers’ experience in different industries to ensure that we meet the needs of national and international industrial enterprises, both in their day-to-day operations and in new business ventures.

Corporate. Support to companies in all industrial segments, in operational contracts, project financing, and obtaining new investment, including the various ways to access the Brazilian capital market, private equity funds, and debenture issuances.

Environmental. Support in project licensing, prevention and management of crises and incidents, and all types of environmental disputes and litigation.

Employment. Support in all employment and labor issues of all kinds, both advisory matters and litigation, and in litigation prevention and labor force hiring and management, taking into account the nature of the client’s business.

Competition. Support in mergers and acquisitions and other matters before Brazil’s antitrust authority, CADE, and in questions related to unfair competition.

Tax. Support for all our clients’ tax needs, both advisory and litigation (administrative and judicial), involving direct and indirect taxes at the federal, state, and municipal levels, and the analysis and implementation of tax benefits and incentives, including those granted in the Manaus Free Zone.
