Bichara Advogados

Noted for its ‘quality, results, efficiency, and commitment to the client’, the labour and employment department at Bichara Advogados has experience handling both contentious and non-contentious matters, ranging from work-related accidents to internal audits and investigations. Most notably, the group is involved in novel mandates related to equal pay and remuneration between men and women, which has remained a central focus for many Brazilian firms since the 2023 equity pay law. The practice’s capabilities have amassed clients from a range of sectors, including infrastructure, healthcare, and food and beverage, and its roster continues to expand. Christiana Fontenelle, who is skilled in administrative and judicial proceedings, co-heads the team alongside João Pedro Eyler Povoa, noted for his experience in collective labour actions, and litigation specialist Jorge Gonzaga Matsumoto.
