Your law firm in Brazil

Bicalho & Oliveira is the result of the union of two solid backgrounds in international law, combining global expertise and local experience.

Our Story

With over six decades of combined experience, Josmeyr Oliveira Advogados (with more than 40 years of tradition in Brazil) and Bicalho Consultoria Legal (with over 20 years of expertise in Brazil, the United States, and Portugal) have joined forces to create Bicalho & Oliveira. Together, we connect the world with Brazil, delivering consistent and strategic legal solutions that represent our clients’ interests.

Our mission is to provide legal excellence with trust, transparency, and global vision. Beyond everyday cases, our team is recognized for handling matters of the highest complexity, involving:

  • Economic groups: conglomerates, holdings, mergers, and acquisitions.
  • Multilateral interests: cross-border cases with impact in more than one country.
  • Agribusiness: contracts, exports, and regulatory frameworks.
  • Aviation: airlines, international logistics, and sector-specific regulations.

At the same time, Bicalho & Oliveira has become a reference in immigration law and business internationalization, supporting individuals, families, and companies that wish to invest, expand, and settle in Brazil with full legal security.

This unique combination of global expertise and local strength positions us as a trusted partner for companies, investors, and individuals who need a legal structure capable of acting strategically in multiple scenarios, with the same confidence and security — all around the world.
