Multinational companies doing business in Brazil and Brazilian multinationals doing business abroad turn to Covington for sophisticated legal, regulatory, and policy advice grounded in our Brazil experience and acumen. Together with Covington’s industry-leading global practices, our core team of bilingual and Brazil-trained lawyers and advisors helps companies solve their most complex business issues at the intersection of law, policy, and regulation.

Covington has experience advising companies doing business in Brazil on corporate transactions, anti- corruption compliance and investigations matters, issues involving Brazilian regulations and public policy, and international arbitration. Our team has also advised on matters related to the life sciences and food industries, artificial intelligence (AI), data privacy, Internet of Things, and antitrust, among others.

It is critical when doing business in Brazil to have a comprehensive understanding of the country’s complex cultural, economic, and political landscape.
