Totally agree as well that receiving and reading the documents isn't enough, which is why we also have lawyers based in Brasil who check everything for us as well.

I agree therefore that you should always retain independent legal representation in whichever country you are investing in to do your own Due Diligence Checks.

Overall seems we both agree on just about everything.

Hear, hear!
