About
Advisory legal work for people who need to decide with confidence.
A law graduate of the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), I practice advisory and business law, focusing on contracts, administrative law, immigration, multinationals and regulatory matters.
I work on projects with foreign governments and advise companies and foreign nationals arriving in Brazil: from the contract structure to the visa, from negotiation to regularization. I am a co-founder of Souza & Santos Advocacia, with offices in João Pessoa and São Paulo.
I am also a co-founder and director of the Rapid Reforest Campaign.
