Government Relations

Given the complexity of the Brazilian governmental structure and intricate regulatory framework, organized action before the Legislative and Executive branches is becoming increasingly necessary for companies to achieve their strategic objectives. The lawyers in the Government Relations area at TozziniFreire understand the intersections between business (especially highly regulated businesses) and public policy, and are able to provide comprehensive legal support to their clients in their government relations, adhering to the highest ethical standards and global compliance requirements.

Our work consists of developing and executing, in conjunction with the client, a strategic plan for government relations and monitoring public legislative and regulatory issues at the federal, state, and municipal levels. We also advise our clients in public hearings and parliamentary commissions of inquiry conducted by the National Congress, Legislative Assemblies, and Municipal Chambers, as well as in proceedings before Courts of Auditors, among other services.

The firm's full-service structure, with a presence in major Brazilian cities, including Brasília, allows our clients' objectives to be evaluated and addressed by multidisciplinary teams specializing in all areas of law, as well as in sectoral industry groups.
