Thanks Wolgang. Do you have a website as a search in google results in various combinations of the title "Law office in Brazil." I believe it is this one: law office but wanted to be sure.

A colleague of mine has used them previously and was very complimentary.Whilst i have not used them personally, i know that a number of people on this forum have made contact with Jose Santiago (who was the guy my colleage used) and initial feedback has been very favourable both in terms of quick response and a very competitive price.Apparently there are significant savings to be made over Manzanares.Too late for me personally as i have already committed myself but hopefully this info will be useful to all those still looking.

We recommend an excellent legal firm based in Brazil with extensive knowledge of Brazilian real estate. We have negotiated an excellent deal for our clients with this company. Of course, purchasers can use a lawyer of their choice but we strongly recommend that they ensure they have an excellent understanding of Brazilian Real Estate.

looking for a good lawyer or company for company formation in the north east can anyone help??

[Jose C. Santiago, Esq.]

Hi Natti, what city exactly you are looking for a lawyer? What are your legal needs? I may be able to refer you to a few.

Hi,
It is important also to take care about taxes.
Usually, Brazilian real estate attorneys have no idea about international tax planning and investment vehicles. It is advisable to hire reputable law firms if you plan to make a material investment in Brazil. There are some international law firms that have affiliated firms in Brazil. Very responsive and that understand cross boarder investments. They are usually located in Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro. Just check cross boarder real estate investments in Brazil in google or any other search machine at the web.

There are also many "international" law firms, like I have seen quoted on this forum, who trade on their name, but have to subcontract the actual work to another brasilian lawyer, and therefore the client gets the international fees for a local lawyer service!
