Criminal 

The criminal law practice at Gaudêncio offers personalized and strategic services, catering to both individuals and corporations. We advise companies, executives, and individuals on strategic criminal matters, always focusing on providing the best possible defense and legal counseling.

Given the sensitive nature of this area, all cases are handled with extreme care and confidentiality, maintaining constant communication with our clients. We align our strategy from the outset, explaining each step of the process to ensure clarity and peace of mind.

We understand that, in many situations, criminal cases are interconnected with other disputes in various areas of law. For this reason, we leverage our full-service structure to integrate our legal strategies, providing a comprehensive and coordinated defense.

In the consultative realm, we offer advisory services to mitigate criminal risks in the business environment, providing legal opinions on criminal matters. We also conduct employee training on criminal issues, such as interactions with public authorities and compliance with anti-corruption laws. Additionally, we assist with criminal due diligence in corporate transactions, such as IPOs and M&As, and offer crisis management support.

In litigation, we represent our clients in police summons, criminal investigations, and court proceedings. We also prepare requests for the initiation of criminal investigations, handle criminal complaints, and represent clients in search and seizure procedures in criminal cases. Our firm has extensive experience in conducting plea bargains and other criminal procedural agreements.

On the international front, we provide legal opinions on criminal law for foreign clients and engage in negotiations for cooperation agreements in Brazil, in parallel with negotiations conducted with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). We also assist with internal investigations conducted by foreign parent companies with subsidiaries in Brazil.
