About our firm
Our firm:
We are a boutique law firm specializing in strategic business legal advisory. With over 50 years of combined experience, our partners lead a select team of highly skilled professionals. Our team boasts a solid academic background and extensive expertise gained from working at renowned national and international law firms, publicly traded companies, and major banks.
Our goal is to assist clients in critical moments, structure legal solutions for complex issues, and facilitate business transactions with objectivity and efficient management of legal risks. Throughout our journey, we have successfully advised clients of diverse profiles in dozens of transactions.
We specialize in corporate law, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), corporate disputes, corporate restructuring, financial transactions, tax consulting, tax and estate planning, and succession planning. In addition, we have expertise in joint ventures, venture capital, and corporate venture capital.
Our philosophy:
We believe that the practice of law is best conducted in a model where relationships are close and personal, both with clients and among partners and members of the firm. We value the proximity and quality of relationships, understanding that there is a limit to scalability in the provision of legal services without significant losses in efficiency and work quality.
We share strategic goals, ethical values, and moral principles. Our professional fulfillment lies in providing honest and high-quality services, exceeding clients' expectations.
We leverage the experiences accumulated over more than 50 years of work in top-tier law firms, significant transactions, and complex issue resolution to apply them to our boutique model of strategic advisory. This model combines characteristics of personalization, flexibility, objectivity, and focus, providing a favorable cost-benefit ratio for our clients.
To reinforce our culture, we pursue moderate, organic, and sustainable growth. We offer opportunities for personal and professional growth to our young talents, considering merit and individual achievements.
Our lean structure does not allow for distractions from partners and lawyers with internal policies, ego management, institutional initiatives, or the management of large and costly facilities. Thus, we have full availability to dedicate ourselves entirely to what we enjoy most: practicing law in a straightforward manner, without excessive utilization of our members and without the cost pressures that other players carry with their heavy structures.
With this philosophy, Themudo Lessa Advogados has achieved success, recognition, and has established itself in the market as a solid alternative for high-quality legal advisory, serving startups, middle-market companies, family-owned business groups, large publicly traded companies, private equity funds, and financial institutions.
