working as a team...
...to litigate your dispute
Our deal is litigation
At LUC Advogados, we work exclusively in dispute resolution — through arbitration or in court — and matters related to litigation funding.
​
In the area of public law, we defend companies and individuals against regulatory bodies and other public entities, including in tax issues. In private law, we represent individuals and companies, especially in business litigation and family and property succession concerns.
​
Our appellate office in Brasilia plays a crucial role in our advocacy, working before the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court and the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice.
