What ASBZ Advogados does

ASBZ Advogados (/asbz) is a privately-held, multidisciplinary Brazilian business law firm founded in 2011 and headquartered in São Paulo, with a secondary office in Brasília and a broad partner network across Brazil. The firm deploys a team of approximately 270 specialized professionals across more than 30 practice areas, including tax, corporate/M&A, civil, labor, competition, digital, real estate, agribusiness, arbitration, and regulatory law. ASBZ targets large and mid-size enterprises across agribusiness, financial institutions, technology, energy, and logistics, delivering integrated legal advisory on a project or retainer basis through a partner-led, relationship-driven distribution model.

The firm's service platform is augmented by three proprietary internal tools: TBR (Tax Brief Review), a tax compliance diagnostic methodology launched in 2014 that combines quantitative data analysis with structured pillars; Litigation BI, a business intelligence system launched in 2018 that monitors and analyzes client litigation metrics; and the Corporate Behaviour Code, a global corporate diagnostic project incubated at Stanford University's CodeX center under partner-counselor Alexandre Gleria. In 2020, ASBZ established an Innovation and Technology Directorate and an /asbzLabs multidisciplinary group, and signed an exclusive partnership with Neoway (Latin America's largest big data company) to power the Cashback Social initiative.

Revenue is generated through professional services billing on a quote/project or retainer basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed. ASBZ has no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or external investment, operating as an independent partnership. The firm holds the B Corp (Sistema B) certification (first major Brazilian law firm to do so, in 2024), is a signatory to the UN Women WEPs, and is consistently ranked by Chambers Global, IFLR 1000, Legal 500, Leaders League, Análise Advocacia, and the Lexology Index.
