Bermudes Advogados

Founded in 1969, tha law firm Bermudes is one of the leading law firms in Brazil, and is a reference in litigation and arbitration. This tradition was achieved through the leadership and encouragement of its founding partner to ensure the solid academic, ethical and professional training of its lawyers. Throughout its existence, its strong performance in cases of great importance and repercussion on the national scene has earned it a leading position in litigation law. In the 1970s, Sergio Bermudes sponsored the case of Vladimir Herzog's widow, when the dictatorship was defeated for the first time in the Judiciary, which recognized that the journalist had been murdered. From the 1980s onwards, the firm assumed a leading position in civil litigation and in the area of corporate restructuring, currently working throughout the country on important matters involving numerous large companies. In the early 1990s, the firm's structure grew significantly in order to meet the growing demand of its clients. The immediate result of this growth was the intensification of activities in the areas of arbitration, business consultancy, international contracts and regulatory law in the insurance, energy, oil, gas and mining sectors, among others. Currently, Bermudes Advogados has a legal and administrative team of three hundred members, with offices in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasília, which include a network of correspondents in Brazil and abroad.
