Sustainability

Our history has been guided by the permanent execution of charity work and pro bono services. Currently, our energy is focused on providing legal assistance to Fundação Projeto Pescar, a project dedicated to the qualification and insertion of youths in socially vulnerable situation to the job market. One of our partners is a member of the Fundação's Board, and several of our attorneys provide support to the institution's strategic needs. Andrade Maia is continually concerned with the rational use of resources, which is translated into practical and continuous actions of awareness with regard to recycling, reusing material leftovers, reusing resources and saving on water and energy.

Compliance

Andrade Maia is proud to adopt the best Compliance practices and comply with the international terms and requirements set forth by the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, approved by the US Congress.

Working Fronts

Leading Cases

In the last 20 years, Andrade Maia was the firm responsible for conducting several leading cases before Higher Courts involving several matters. Our intense performance in these Courts led us to open, in 2017, an office in Brasilia, bringing in three partners with comprehensive practical experience in Higher Courts, even having worked as law clerks to several Justices.

Strategic Lawsuits

Regarding strategic lawsuits, the differential of Andrade Maia lies in the seniority of its partners, the quality of the solutions presented and in the pragmatism and involvement of its team, which does not limit its activities to the creation of hypotheses for legal defense, but also to paying close attention to practical aspects and the repercussions of each stage of the lawsuit, anticipating events in a proactive and creative way. Its dedication, the immediate attention and the unstoppable desire to win guide the team’s activities.

Large-Scale

In working on large-scale, we are guided by our emphasis and focus on management. Vast investments in systems, our obsession with permanent updates and the development of a wide range of data, which allows for an intelligent analysis of the evolution of portfolios, have been the characteristics for which we are remembered. Our differential lies in the following: we turn large amounts of information into tools that generate strategic indicators for the best decision-making and for the improvement of corporate practices, without losing focus on the particularities of each case. Without prejudice to the foregoing, we understand the importance of working on every lawsuit as a single case, focused on winning and exploring its peculiarities, being aware that a single adverse precedent may jeopardize the result of an entire portfolio.
