About Us

A Unified Practice Across Legal Frameworks

Cross-border commerce requires more than local representation. It demands counsel who can bridge distinct legal, regulatory, and cultural systems. AILCO, the firm behind Ajax Law, was founded in 2006 by Ajax D’Alcântara in Salvador, Bahia to remove the friction, structural risk, and fragmented communication typical of multi-firm engagements.

Mr. D’Alcântara earned his law degree from the Federal University of Bahia, was a visiting scholar in the LL.M. program at the University of Pittsburgh, and a Nabrit Fellow at Howard University School of Law.

He is admitted to the Brazilian Bar (OAB-BA 14.162) and has advised international clients for over 25 years.
