Wealth and Succession Planning

Our work with individuals and families focuses on finding greater legal effciency in organizing personal wealth, with a view to ensuring continuity, investment and allocation over time according to our clients’ plans.

We help individuals and family businesses ensure the continuity of their worth over time and over generations, using contractual and corporate instruments and investment funds.

We also assist in organizing assets located in Brazil and abroad in light of the frequent changes in the law and new family realities.

Our team also provides legal support to clients in their philanthropic work and projects in the third sector. In addition to assisting individuals, we work in close partnership with many private banks, family offices, and asset managers active in Brazil, often as legal counsel.
