What LBA \ does

LBA — Consultoria e Advocacia Empresarial is a Brazilian professional services firm founded in 2020 and headquartered in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, with additional offices in Passos (Minas Gerais) and Curitiba (Paraná). The firm provides tax, legal, patrimonial, compliance, and M&A advisory services to business owners, high-net-worth individuals and families, and companies engaged in merger, acquisition, or succession transactions. Co-founders André Lemos Batista and Daniel Aleixo (both former PwC) and Paola Bittencourt Batista (former municipal prosecutor) anchor the firm with mixed private- and public-sector tax expertise. The firm publicly cites cumulative experience of 20+ years across its team, 500+ projects executed, 100+ clients served, and R$500M+ in results generated for clients since founding.

The service portfolio is organized into four core pillars — Mapeamento Tributário (Tax Mapping), Planejamento Patrimonial (Patrimonial/Succession Planning), Mapeamento Empresarial (Business Mapping and Compliance), and Fusões e Aquisições (M&A) — supported by adjacent practices in tax litigation, tax credit recovery, financial planning, corporate structuring, and general legal advisory covering company formation, contracts, and commercial litigation. The offering is a traditional, partner-led consultancy rather than a software or technology product; there is no proprietary platform, API, or developer surface.

Commercially, LBA uses a freemium acquisition model: prospective clients receive a free initial tax-mapping consultation, after which paid engagements are scoped project-by-project (or via retainer). The firm runs a sales-led, consultative GTM with a strong event component — it hosts the LBA Conecta series, sponsors Brazilian Week in New York, and convenes tax-reform discussions with public-sector officials — alongside organic content marketing via its website, LinkedIn, and Instagram channels. Pricing for ongoing services is not publicly disclosed and is handled through request-for-proposal. The firm is privately held by its working partners, with no disclosed external institutional capital.
