Presentation

Wilson Mirza Abraham was the main criminal defense lawyer for political and tortured prisoners during the 1964 dictatorship regime, defending President João Goulart, Governor Leonel Brizola, anthropologist Darcy Ribeiro and many others. In the most tense moments, he slept in his car to avoid being kidnapped by the agents of repression. When asked about this habit, he replied that if he was not able to protect himself, how could the clients trust his ability to protect them?

We have the great privilege – and the great responsibility – to continue this culture and tradition of more than five decades of excellence in defending clients against abuses and excesses of the punitive power.

We know that a criminal investigation or accusation creates anguish, insecurity and fear in the client, due to the drastic, long-lasting and irreversible (financial, personal, political, reputational etc.) consequences of a conviction.

We are aware of the enormous responsibility of being the only barrier between the coercion exercised by government agencies and the fundamental rights of clients.

We invest in exclusive dedication to corporate and economic crimes, solid academic training and extensive practical experience in complex cases, criminal mega-trials and police operations.

We render services to individuals and companies, national and foreign, throughout the national territory. To this end, we have our own units in Rio de Janeiro and Brasília and the law firms of the REDE alliance in other capitals, in addition to highly qualified consultants, expert witnesses and private investigators.
