Lawyer for International Investors in Brazil
Legal certainty for investing, acquiring real estate, opening companies, and protecting assets in Brazil
Investing in Brazil can offer excellent opportunities, but it also involves significant legal risks, especially for foreign investors or Brazilian nationals residing abroad. Regulatory differences, poorly structured contracts, unauthorized intermediaries, and sophisticated fraud schemes may jeopardize real estate, corporate, and financial investments.
Carrillo Advogados provides strategic and preventive legal assistance to international investors, with a strong focus on capital protection, risk analysis, and the secure structuring of investments in Brazil, always in compliance with Brazilian law.
Legal advisory for foreign and international investors
Proper legal assistance is essential for those seeking to invest in Brazil with confidence. Our advisory services are designed to anticipate risks, prevent financial losses, and ensure legal certainty at every stage of the investment process.
We assist investors who intend to:
Transfer financial resources to Brazil in a lawful and secure manner
Acquire residential, commercial, or rural real estate
Invest in Brazilian companies or participate in corporate structures
Establish companies or legal entities in Brazil
Avoid real estate, corporate, or financial fraud

Legal analysis of contracts and investments in Brazil
One of the greatest risks faced by international investors is entering into contracts without specialized legal review, often drafted unilaterally or incompatible with Brazilian legislation.
Carrillo Advogados conducts a technical and strategic review of contracts, including:
Real estate purchase and sale agreements
Shareholders’ agreements and corporate contracts
Investment and equity participation agreements
Real estate development and incorporation contracts
Financing instruments and guarantees
Agreements with intermediaries, brokers, or representatives
Our objective is to identify hidden risks, abusive clauses, legal vulnerabilities, and any indications of fraud or irregularities.
Prevention of fraud and scams targeting international investors
Unfortunately, foreign investors are frequent targets of real estate, corporate, and financial fraud in Brazil, often involving complex and sophisticated structures.
We act preventively to:
Identify false investment opportunities
Verify the legal status of properties, companies, and projects
Assess the legitimacy of intermediaries and local partners
Prevent fraudulent schemes and simulated transactions
Reduce the risk of significant asset losses
When necessary, we also pursue judicial accountability of those involved, always after a careful assessment of legal feasibility.
