With a solid footprint in the Minas Gerais market, Azevedo Sette Advogados' labour team advises on both contentious and advisory matters, including complex litigation and strategic employment planning. The team, which is regularly retained by multinationals with operations in the region, frequently handles high-stakes disputes such as collective actions and injunctions, while also supporting clients on HR policies, due diligence for M&A transactions, and hiring and termination issues. This comprehensive capability is a reflection of its co-heads, Leila Azevedo Sette, Luanna Vieira de Lima Costa, and Gustavo Magalhães Assis, who all bring extensive, shared experience across the full spectrum of employee, labour relations, and social security matters.

Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'The firm stands out for serving clients individually, avoiding a "one-size-fits-all" approach. The team's main capability is its extremely high level of technical knowledge, demonstrated in both written petitions and oral arguments before the courts. They provide prompt responses that meet the firm's high-quality standards. Furthermore, when observing their arguments, we have noticed the respect with which judges treat the members of the firm—a clear testament to the team's high level of competence.'
- 'Luanna Vieira de Costa Lima demonstrates great confidence when presenting her guidance, possesses a high level of technical knowledge, and is extremely committed. Gabriela Lage Duarte is also extremely committed and demonstrates excellent technical knowledge.'
- 'The team possesses impeccable technical knowledge and is capable of handling any specific labour matter with precision and promptness. Their expertise in the field leads to more efficient analyses and swift client service, which is crucial, as time is often our greatest enemy when dealing with legal issues.'
