REAL ESTATE LAW
Buying a property takes more than reading the registry record and reviewing the contract. Often the greatest risk in the deal lies not in the property itself, but in the asset, business and tax history of whoever is selling it. Proper legal investigation before the purchase can stop a newly acquired asset from turning into someone else's old problem.
REAL ESTATE LAW
Business debts and financial crises do not automatically mean losing every personal asset. Understand when the family's home can be protected from attachment and what the STJ recently decided about high-value properties.
LEGAL MANAGEMENT FOR COMPANIES IN CRISIS
A single unexpected ruling can be enough to push an entire sector — and thousands of companies — into a crisis. Not every risk can be foreseen, but the way each business prepares and reacts can be the difference between riding out the turbulence and going under.
LABOUR LAW
Being a partner in a company carries risks that can reach beyond the company itself — including years after leaving it. In a ruling in our client's favour, we showed how much it matters to register the withdrawal with the Board of Trade, and how the two-year period set out in Article 10-A of the CLT applies. For anyone in business, understanding labour risks and taking preventive steps can matter as much as building the business itself.

CORPORATE CRISIS
Judicial reorganisation can save a company, but who pays for it? For an unsecured creditor, a R$ 100,000 claim can turn into R$ 25,000, paid out over years and subject to terms that significantly erode its real value. With judicial reorganisations at a record high, monitoring the proceedings is no longer optional: it is essential to protect assets and improve the odds of actually being paid.
LABOUR LAW
Informally hiring nannies, carers and household employees can be costly. What begins as a relationship of trust inside the home can end in a labour claim involving recognition of employment, overtime, the FGTS severance fund, holiday pay and other entitlements. Prevention, in this case, starts long before the conflict.

RESTRUCTURING AND CORPORATE CRISIS
For many companies, the recession isn't a forecast for 2027. It has already started. The first signs usually show up in cash flow, but the biggest risk is waiting too long to act.

Most companies don't fail because of a crisis. They fail because they take too long to decide. In the first episode of Ponto Controverso, we discuss why postponing decisions can be a business owner's most costly mistake.
CORPORATE LAW
Corporate reorganisations go beyond contracts: they start with the company's identity, alignment among partners, and shared goals.

On August 19th, the National Council of Justice (CNJ) completed the mandatory registration of medium and large companies in the Electronic Judicial Domicile system. The platform centralises court summonses and notifications, requires companies to keep their records up to date, and can result in fines for those who fail to confirm communications within the legal deadline.
CORPORATE LAW
Business owners facing serious financial difficulties often come up against a delicate question: does it make sense to file for self-bankruptcy? In many cases, this decision, however difficult, can be the most viable strategy for winding down business activities in an organised way while protecting both the assets and the reputation of those involved.
LABOUR LAW
Dismissal for just cause is one of the most severe forms of employment termination, as it strips the employee of several severance entitlements, such as prior notice and the FGTS penalty. However, employees are often dismissed under this claim improperly, without employers correctly following the legal requirements.
LABOUR LAW
Did you know that in some situations an employee can terminate their own employment contract and still receive every benefit as if they had been dismissed without cause? This type of termination is set out in Article 483 of the CLT and is called constructive dismissal.
