Clifford Chance
An international office in São Paulo
Clifford Chance received authorization for its São Paulo office approximately two decades ago. The logic behind our decision to open an office in São Paulo was unassailable - the requirements for international legal advice on headline project financings, capital markets issues and inward investment justified our making a substantial commitment to Brazil. The unrivalled combination of our in-depth US securities expertise in New York, highly respected global banking and corporate capability and international network of offices places us in an enviable position. We run one of the largest international offices in São Paulo.
Billion dollar transactions
The global firm's outstanding reputation in project finance equips us well in Brazil. We act as SEC "20F" filing firm for a number of Brazil's corporates whose shares are listed on NYSE. Many of our deals have been ranked "No. 1" in Latin American league tables.
A diverse team
This is a multi-cultural team, bringing together an experienced group of professionals. Top flight English and US-qualified lawyers, fluent in Portuguese, are at a premium in the market. We can offer them exciting deals in one of the world's most dynamic economies.
Breathtaking pace of change
The pace of change in Brazil is breathtaking and nowhere is this more apparent than in São Paulo itself. The city is reinventing itself as a cosmopolitan business centre, with a sought-after quality of life, excellent communications links and first rate commercial and residential accommodation. We are based in the main financial district, within a 15-minute drive of the city's premier residential districts. The atmosphere in the office itself is informal, meritocratic and enthusiastic. The opportunities here in Brazil are enormous.
