Santiago Mediano Abogados launches Brazilian Desk
Santiago Mediano Abogados, the firm led by Javier Berrocal, has taken a strategic step in expanding its footprint across Latin America with the launch of its new Brazilian Desk. The initiative is aimed at providing comprehensive legal support to Spanish and Portuguese companies with business interests in Brazil, as well as to Brazilian companies looking to establish or grow their presence in the Iberian Peninsula.
To this end, the firm has entered into a collaboration agreement with Theodoro, Rebolo & Debs Sociedade de Advogados (TRD Advogados), a Brazilian law firm with offices in São Paulo and Lisbon. This partnership enables both firms to deliver a coordinated service tailored to the legal and cultural nuances of the Brazilian market.
The Brazilian Desk will be jointly led by Paulo Correia, partner at Santiago Mediano Abogados in Portugal, and Newman Debs, partner at TRD Advogados.
The team involved in this initiative will provide legal advice in areas such as corporate law, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), compliance, privacy, international taxation, labor mobility, and commercial contracts. They will also offer ongoing legal support to established companies seeking to consolidate or diversify their international operations.
According to the firm’s statement, the team brings together in-depth knowledge of the Brazilian, Spanish, and Portuguese legal systems and cultural contexts. The close coordination between the firms, their network of local collaborators, and clients’ internal teams enables the delivery of agile, bilingual, and tailored legal solutions adapted to each company’s unique needs.
