Who we are

Felipe Querol Consultoria Jurídica
OAB/RS 10.774

Navigating the legal landscape of a new market requires more than just translation—it demands strategic legal adaptation. If your company is planning to contract with Brazilian entities, establishing operations, or needs to localize existing English-language agreements to comply with Brazilian jurisdiction, you need a partner who understands both your international goals and local Brazilian requirements.

With 10 years of experience, including the last 5 years advising major multinational corporations in IT, manufacturing, and retail, I act as your business partner in Brazil. My focus is on providing legal clarity and security for foreign investors and businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions for International Clients

Why can't I just translate my existing contract into Portuguese?

A simple translation is not enough. Brazilian law has specific mandatory clauses and interpretations (e.g., in Corporate, Labor, and Civil Law) that must be integrated into the document to ensure legal enforceability and minimize local litigation risks. We ensure full legal adaptation.

Do you assist with establishing a company (incorporation) in Brazil?

Yes, we provide full Corporate Support, including drafting and reviewing Articles of Association (Contrato Social), establishing the appropriate corporate structure, and drafting Shareholder Agreements (Acordos de Sócios) to secure your investment.

My company is dealing with a contract breach in Brazil. Can you help?

We can review the contract and the breach context under Brazilian law to advise on the best alternatives for judicial or extrajudicial collection/enforcement. Our consultancy focuses on identifying your legal positioning and strategic options.

What is your experience with multinational companies?

I have 10 years of experience, with 5 years dedicated to serving multinational corporations in sectors like IT and Manufacturing, handling relevant litigation portfolios, and managing international contracts and joint ventures. This background allows me to understand global business perspectives.

Do you charge based on the value of the business I am negotiating?

No. Consistent with our approach as a business partner, our services are not priced based on the value of the goods or services you are negotiating. Pricing is based on the complexity and volume of the work (e.g., contract length, area of law and hours spent).
