about us

Gonçalves & Guerra was established from a union of lawyers and entrepreneurial consultants with comprehensive legal experience in the areas of Tax and Corporate Law.

From this alliance emerged a bold project: to establish itself as one of the country's leading business law firms over a short time frame.

Leading not in size, but in credibility, and especially in generating results for their clients.

This is due to the fact that businesses today are not looking for just another costly legal advice service, but for a service that provides them with both measurable and economic benefits.

With an edge in providing client services, our work is performed in a personalized way. We are professionals that maintain a close working relationship to our clients through permanent consulting services that range from the simplest daily necessities to the most complex of cases.

Gonçalves & Guerra relies on lawyers that are focused on finding solutions in an integrated manner, advising companies in all aspects related to the business, either through tax and business consulting, or through the resolution of liabilities and credit recovery.

The on-going technical and human development of the team, coupled with a perception for clients' needs, are our lawyers and consultants' primary concerns - the basic instruments to meet the requirements of an increasingly modern market, so that we can offer solutions that make a difference.
