Due to its all-encompassing specialization, the law firm has various areas of strategic prominence, chosen in accordance with its main sectoral goals and highlights, in accordance with the senior partner's profile. Among the firm's specialties, one area deserves to be highlighted since it is tied more closely to the senior partner's practical and theoretical education. These areas are part of the so-called PUNITIVE THEORY, with some of its many branches regarding illegal administration of public assets and personnel.

ENVIRONMENTAL LAW

In the economic-environmental area, the firm seeks to unchain Brazil's developmental agenda, operating in the most diverse sectors. Due to the senior partner's experience, specialized in institutional matters related to the Public Prosecution Service and, more concretely, in the environmental and urban-planning areas, the firm develops activities in consultancy, lawsuit prevention and diagnosis of environmental liabilities. In the area of Environmental Sanctioning Law, the firm offers innovative solutions committed to results, because of the senior partner's background and professional education, which enables him to diagnose real risks and formulate effective defense strategies.

ECONOMIC CRIMINAL LAW

In crimes and administrative infractions against the economic order, taxes, the stock market and the Brazilian financial system, the firm presents a profile of broad intellectual production in these areas. The senior partner taught Criminal Law in respected institutions, as well as performed his functions of a member of the Public Prosecution Service and as State Secretary of Justice and Security for Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, acquiring experience in the solution of criminal issues. The senior partner's resume well evidences his proximity to such matters.

ADMINISTRATIVE LAW RELATING TO ECONOMIC SANCTIONS

The firm's strategic performance areas include dealing with entities such as the Economic Defense Council (CADE), the Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN), the National Finance System Resource Council (CRSFN), the Brazilian Internal Revenue Service and Taxpayer Councils. In terms of Administrative Sanctioning Law, facing issues pertinent to sanctions imposed upon the directors of companies that operate in the aforementioned sectors is one of the firm's main challenges.

ADMINISTRATIVE MALPRACTICE

In dealing with administrative malpractice, the firm's senior partner has a solid background in prosecution, which leads to a discerning and careful analysis of the cases he handles, adding credibility to his lawsuits. The firm is open to the possibility of sponsoring class actions or public civil suits for legitimate entities, as well as providing general defense for accused parties, after examining the limitations of the senior partner's ethical commitments.

Presently, many problems and conflicts in Brazilian public administration are resolved under Law 8.429/92, whose punitive potential often enforces the rights of those who are administered, by force of law and right.

The control of public administration, in its most varied forms and subtleties, falls under this topic. It deals with discussing the responsibilities of civil servants or of the State itself, as well as supervising the limits of the regulatory power of agencies responsible for implementing certain public policies through coercive measures.
