Firm overview

Finocchio & Ustra Sociedade de Advogados started with the dream to fill a gap in the State of São Paulo's countryside’s market and build a full-service office that could compete with the most admired offices in Brazil.

Focused on developing effective and reliable legal solutions, highly qualified professionals, and working closely with clients, we gained market share and currently have in our client portfolio national and international companies of all sizes, and from all business segments.

We have made investments in corporate governance and in our management model; such as our participation in the Partners for Excellence Program (PAEX) of Fundação Dom Cabral, which is one of the best business schools in the world.

With our future and the sustainability of the firm in mind, in 2019 we launched our innovation platform: Future in Us (https://www.futurein.us/en/), as we believe in the rapid and disruptive evolution of law. We also believe that the best way to get to know us is by understanding our ideology. Thus, we make every possible effort and initiative to daily incorporate it into our culture.
