Opice Blum

What Opice Blum does

Opice Blum is a privately held Brazilian law firm (legal name: Opice Blum, Bruno Advogados Associados) founded in 1997 and headquartered in São Paulo, with two offices — Unidade Berrini (Rua James Joule, 65) and Unidade Vila Olímpia at the Cubo Itaú innovation hub (Alameda Vicente Pinzon, 54). The firm specializes in Digital Law, Data Protection, AI Governance, Cybersecurity Incident Response, Financial Services Innovation, Digital Tax, Intellectual Property, and Technology/Media/Entertainment. It employs 51–100 professionals and is led by Sócio e CEO Henrique Fabretti, with named partners covering Visual Law, Regulatory Monitoring, Financial Services Innovation, Incident Response, and Intellectual Property.

The firm operates as a professional services business, generating revenue through client engagements, retainer arrangements, and project-based work. Its go-to-market is sales-led, targeting enterprise and institutional clients — financial institutions, fintechs, payment institutions, exchanges, insurers, and digital businesses — with customized legal consultancy. Service delivery combines multidisciplinary legal expertise with methodologies such as Visual Law (legal design thinking and simplified legal language), Deep Diving Contencioso (root-cause litigation analysis), regulatory monitoring across BACEN/CVM/SUSP/COAF, and AI Governance consulting aligned with Brazil's AI Marco Regulatório (PL 2338/23) and LGPD/GDPR frameworks. Supporting infrastructure includes a monthly newsletter (Olhar Opice), webinars, publications, and partnerships with Europrivacy, Grant Thornton Brasil, and SP Invisível.

Notable technical and market differentiators include a dedicated AI Governance practice, an official Europrivacy certification partnership for the European Data Protection Seal under GDPR Articles 42/43, and sustained analyst recognition in Chambers Latin America, Legal 500, Latin Lawyer 250, Leaders League, and Análise Advocacia across 2021–2025. The firm has no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or external investors; ownership rests with its partners. Customer concentration is moderate, with PepsiCo publicly named as an enterprise client for a Visual Law / Legal Design project and a broad portfolio across regulated verticals.
