According to a recent report in Iberian Lawyer magazine, the local bar association in the burgeoning ‘Bric’ jurisdiction is investigating alliances between several leading global players and Brazilian practices.
Rumoured deal
The report highlights a rumoured deal between London-based magic circle firm Linklaters and Sao Paulo firm Lefosse Advogados, which, according to the magazine, has potentially fallen foul of the bar association’s regulatory code. The magazine says the Brazilian rules only allow foreign law firms to act as ‘international law consultants’ in the country, forbidding them from advising on domestic legal issues.
Other global firms in the regulatory spotlight, according to the magazine, are Spain’s Uria Menendez and Chicago-based international giant Baker & McKenzie.
None of the firms commented to Iberian Lawyer.
