Lopes Domingues Advogados

What Lopes Domingues Advogados does

Lopes Domingues Advogados is a Brazilian law firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in São Paulo, providing multidisciplinary legal services to medium-sized and large national and multinational corporate clients. The firm's practice portfolio covers anti-corruption and compliance, real estate law, civil litigation (including consumer and insurance/securitário claims), mediation, mergers and acquisitions, and arbitration, with a partner-led engagement model and a "dream team" culture the firm highlights as a differentiator. The named leadership comprises partners Raquel Mello Lopes (corporate, M&A, compliance, estate planning), Mauricio Domingues (insurance and consumer litigation), Sérgio Mirisola Soda, and labor law partner Jamile Oliveira Leão do Amaral, with Daniel Roberto Faria Leme handling real estate matters.

The firm operates as a privately-held partnership and generates revenue through professional legal services billed under retainer and fee-for-service arrangements typical of Brazilian corporate law practices; pricing is individually negotiated and not publicly disclosed. There is no technology product or platform — the entire offering consists of legal expertise delivered through direct, partner-led client relationships rather than digital self-service or marketplace channels. Distribution is anchored in professional networks, referrals, content marketing via the firm's blog and LinkedIn presence, and industry-event participation (including the XVII Brazilian Insurance and Pension Law Congress and the 1st Congress on Fraud Prevention, Cybersecurity and Banking).

In May 2026, the firm announced a merger-of-equals with Braga & Garbelotti Consultores Jurídicos e Advogados (operating since 1990) to form a new combined entity called BLDG, effective from mid-May 2026 with full operational integration scheduled by end of June 2026. The combined entity will operate from unified headquarters at Avenida Eusébio Matoso, 1.375 in São Paulo/SP and will field more than 100 professionals, adding tax consulting and corporate legal services as new practice verticals. Waldir Luiz Braga transitions to strategic consultant at BLDG, while Thiago Garbelotti joins Raquel Mello Lopes and Mauricio Domingues as partners of the combined entity.
