Frequently Asked Questions
We have answered some of the most common questions below. If you still need assistance, send us a message.
How much does it cost to hire a lawyer in Brazil?
Legal fees vary according to the complexity of the matter and the type of legal work required. Common arrangements include fixed fees for specific services, hourly advisory fees or a success-based arrangement (u003cemu003ead exitumu003c/emu003e), in which part of the legal fee is calculated as a percentage of the economic benefit obtained, subject to the terms of the engagement.
How can I verify that a Brazilian lawyer is properly licensed?
A fundamental step is verifying the lawyer’s professional registration. Anyone can check whether a Brazilian attorney has an active registration through the u003ca href=u0022https://cna.oab.org.br/u0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noreferrer noopeneru0022u003eu003cstrongu003eNational Registry of Attorneys (Cadastro Nacional dos Advogados – CNA) on the official Brazilian Bar Association (OAB) websiteu003c/strongu003eu003c/au003e, using the lawyer’s full name or registration information.
When is legal representation required in Brazil?
Representation by licensed counsel is required in most Brazilian court proceedings, including ordinary courts and higher courts. Brazilian law provides limited exceptions, including certain claims of up to 20 minimum wages before the Special Civil Courts (Juizados Especiais Cíveis – JEC) and certain initial proceedings before the Labor Courts. Even where representation is not mandatory, legal assistance may help ensure that evidence and arguments are presented in accordance with the applicable procedure.
What should I prepare for an initial legal consultation?
To allow a careful legal assessment, gather the documents relevant to the matter in advance, such as contracts, messages, records, preserved digital evidence and police reports when applicable. During the consultation, you may ask about the legal basis of the claim, procedural risks, potential costs, expected timing and the procedural strategy that may apply.
