Douglas North, Nobel Prize laureate in Economics, asserts that "legal security implies economic security and a business environment that objectively affects the wealth of countries," as trust in institutions ensures predictability of outcomes. With arbitration, there is an alternative access to justice for corporate governance, which can now effectively resolve corporate problems with security and confidentiality.
With experience presiding over the Arbitration, Mediation, and Arbitration Chamber of Cindes/Findes since its foundation in 2018, partner Luiz Cláudio Allemand states that: "... arbitration assumes a relevant role as a good governance practice, is considered a guarantor of access to justice, and is extremely relevant in the corporate environment."
Today, both in Europe and in Brazil, there is greater societal participation and demand, based on expanded constitutionalism and the technology that connects it, as a means to achieve their real interests. With technological advancements, legal issues arise in all areas of law, whether labor, civil, criminal, tax, etc. With experience in the digital realm, society, through the lawyers comprising it, can engage with law and technology, ensuring responsible service provision that meets current legal demands.

Constitutional Law:
Our staff possesses vast experience, particularly in constructing theses in Constitutional Law. For this purpose, we systematically monitor jurisprudential trends and hermeneutics of the Supreme Court directly related to the issues under legal opinions and client defense, encompassing constitutional remedies, instruments, or legal tools provided in the Federal Constitution with the aim of preventing or avoiding illegalities or abuses.
Administrative Law, Disciplinary Administrative Proceedings, Bidding Processes, and Contracts:
Within the scope of work developed by Allemand and aiming for the most appropriate legal solution, our professionals offer clients the best response to various issues involving public agents and politicians, public service providers, and service concessionaires, including the defense of the interests of individuals (natural or legal persons) against various government agencies belonging to the Union, States, and Municipalities and their respective autarchies. Our firm is also prepared to act before public companies, autarchies, direct and indirect public administration bodies, as well as providing legal assistance in municipal, state, federal processes, and those processed within the scope of the Public Prosecutor's Office (State and Federal).
Administrative Misconduct, Civil Public Action, and Civil Investigation:
Acts of administrative misconduct are associated with illegalities committed against the Public Power. The term "misconduct" itself and its association explain that acts of illicit enrichment, damage to the public treasury, and acts detrimental to administrative morality can be subject to investigation in Civil Investigations and lead to the filing of Civil Public Actions under Law 8.429/92 (Administrative Misconduct Law). Allemand has specialists in this segment, particularly in defending the interests of clients who are sued judicially and/or who are subject to administrative proceedings before public agencies.
International Law (Public and Private):
International Law has been increasingly permeating society's daily life worldwide. Its importance extends through the behavior of legal subjects, the regulation of relations between States, and legal business dealings (contracts, importation, exportation) incorporated by them, inevitably affecting everyone in the human environment. Considering this environment, Allemand has expertise in this area of law, especially in analyzing international legal norms (treaties and conventions), as well as recommending the best rule to regulate contracts entered into by individuals from different countries, for adoption between parents and children of different nationalities, international abductions, among other relationships involving labor, family, contractual, or commercial areas that require judicial intervention.
This area of law is increasingly in demand, and our team of professionals has extensive experience, especially when it comes to complex investigations of corporate societies within the multiple environments of public authorities, Public Prosecutors, and Federal and State Police. Allemand's operational structure is capable of conducting independent investigations to uncover irregularities and their internal effects and impacts within the corporate environment, any flaws, and deviations from conduct, recommending the best options for internal controls and appropriate solutions for each specific case, always acting quickly and effectively. Additionally, our environment allows us to excel in various matters involving crimes against tax order; crimes against public administration; corporate fraud; bankruptcy crimes; antitrust crimes; various counterfeit crimes; crimes against the environment; crimes against the capital market; social security crimes; against labor organization; against public peace, including associations and criminal organizations; crimes against economic order; against consumer relations; against the national financial system, and money laundering.
Preventive labor consultancy is a primary area in which Allemand operates, aiming to prevent workplace accidents, litigation, and government fines, always staying updated with the constant changes in regulations related to labor law. Its work includes both monitoring Labor Claims and Collective Actions before the Labor Court and administratively assisting the Labor Public Prosecutor's Office and the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, always seeking the best solution for the client.
