The move will help expand their joint national presence, strengthening their full‑service capabilities in high‑complexity transactions and disputes.

São Paulo, March 23, 2026 – Madrona Advogados and Coelho & Dalle announce this Monday (03/23) a strategic alliance, under which Coelho & Dalle will operate under the “Madrona Advogados” brand, from São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, Fortaleza, and Recife. This move follows the successful association with Fialho Salles in 2023.

The initiative will reinforce full‑service legal counsel for domestic and international clients in high‑complexity strategic transactions and disputes, as well as strengthen their practice areas and industry capabilities. In addition, the alliance will bring them both closer to their clients while preserving regional characteristics, maintaining local presence and the relationships built in each market. Clients will benefit from complementary expertise and more robust practice areas, while retaining agile, business‑oriented strategic service.

In recent years, Madrona Advogados has been consolidating its governance structure, focusing on efficiency and raising delivery standards for clients, combining seamless, straightforward interactions with clients and partners, with high performance and close, excellence‑driven service. Today, the alliance brings together 44 partners and 131 associates, distributed across more than 20 practices.

Coelho & Dalle Advogados also provides full‑service legal counsel, with a team of 89 professionals — including four partners and 66 technical staff — working across the main areas of law. Over the years, it has stood out for its performance grounded in technical rigor, responsiveness, and detailed understanding of each client’s business, both in the Northeast, where it began, and from its São Paulo office, which expanded its operations in 2014.

“This closer relationship between the teams was built over roughly a year of conversations and joint work. It was a process that gradually strengthened the trust among all of us. We also identified a strong alignment in values and culture regarding the practice of law, client service with technical excellence, and caring for our people and our social responsibility,” says Danilo Mininel, CEO of Madrona Advogados.

For Coelho & Dalle, the alliance represents an important step in its institutional trajectory. “The association with Madrona Advogados increases our competitive capacity and strengthens our work in significant business matters and disputes in the legal market, while absorbing consolidated learning, know‑how, and credibility. We expect not only to accelerate the strategic objectives the firm had already been pursuing, but also to expand our national recognition,” says partner Eduardo Coelho.
