Client signing legal documents with an attorney

★★★★★

I needed to establish a Sociedade Limitada in Brazil and had no idea where to start. Ajax guided me through the entire process, handled the complex paperwork under power of attorney, and my company was officially registered within a few weeks. His fluency in both languages and his command of both legal systems turned what could have been an ordeal into a smooth, professional experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle both US and Brazilian legal matters?

Yes. Our attorneys are dual-licensed, so one firm manages both sides of a cross-border matter: one strategy, one point of contact, and no coordination overhead between separate US and Brazilian lawyers.

Can foreigners buy property in Brazil?

Yes. Foreign buyers can own Brazilian property outright. You will need a CPF tax number, and due diligence on the title deed is essential. We handle title searches, contracts, and Central Bank currency requirements.

Which US visas do you handle for Brazilians?

We advise on EB-5 investor visas, L-1 executive transfers, Green Cards, and family-based petitions, and we help structure Brazilian assets to meet US investment requirements.

What maritime law services do you provide?

We represent shipowners, charterers, and P&I Clubs in Brazilian matters: vessel arrests, cargo claims, maritime liens, and enforceability review of Bills of Lading and Charter Parties.
