FES Vasconcelos launches civil litigation boutique
FES Vasconcelos has entered the Brazilian legal market as a boutique firm specializing in civil and corporate litigation, built around a model that integrates executive business management experience directly into its partnership structure.
The firm was structured around two complementary pillars. Its legal practice is led by Caio Vasconcelos Araújo, who brings a track record in complex civil and corporate disputes. The business division is composed of Lawrence Santini Echenique, Luís Falleiros, and Luis Guilherme de Souza, professionals with backgrounds in corporate operations management and strategic decision-making.
The firm’s founding premise is that practical management experience should function as an active component in the development of litigation strategies rather than as institutional rhetoric. The partners maintain direct involvement in all matters, operating under a boutique model with a limited number of simultaneous cases, prioritizing analytical depth and close client availability.
FES Vasconcelos will advise on complex contractual disputes, corporate governance matters, directors’ and officers’ liability, and urgent corporate measures, alongside preventive advisory work focused on risk structuring and mitigation. The firm also intends to assist foreign companies operating in Brazil through litigation support and corporate advisory services, drawing on the team’s experience with international corporate structures.
The firm begins operations focused on domestic and multinational companies, as well as investors seeking legal counsel with a business-oriented perspective embedded at the core of its practice.
