Our Firm

    We operate as a boutique advisory practice focused on corporate risk, compliance and investigations in Brazil.

    Our work is not based on volume — but on depth, precision and strategic involvement in each matter.

    We support companies and decision-makers in navigating complex legal and regulatory environments, particularly in situations where risk is not always visible at first.

    What differentiates our approach is a combination of legal expertise and real-world experience in criminal investigations. This allows us to identify patterns, vulnerabilities and exposures that are often overlooked in traditional legal analysis.

    We do not simply respond to problems. We work to understand how they start — and how to prevent them.

    Our practice is particularly relevant for companies operating in high-risk or highly regulated environments, where legal, operational and criminal exposure may intersect.

    We also advise US companies and entrepreneurs with operations in Brazil, providing strategic guidance to navigate regulatory complexity, enforcement dynamics and cross-border risk with clarity and confidence.

    Who we work with
    • US companies operating in Brazil
    • International investors
    • Executives and founders
    • Companies exposed to regulatory or criminal risk

    Services

    Helping companies operate in Brazil with clarity, security and control over legal risk.

    Brazil offers significant opportunities, but also complex regulatory and criminal exposure.

    I support companies and executives in identifying, understanding and managing risk before it becomes a legal or operational problem.

    01

    Risk Intelligence & Due Diligence

    Know who you're dealing with before it becomes a problem. Entering or expanding in Brazil requires more than surface-level checks. I provide strategic risk intelligence on companies, partners and transactions, identifying legal, reputational and operational risks that are not always visible in documentation.

    What I do
    • Background checks (companies and individuals)
    • Partner and vendor risk analysis
    • Enhanced due diligence
    • Identification of hidden risks
    Best for

    Companies entering Brazil, investors and cross-border operations.

    02

    Corporate Risk & Compliance

    Prevent problems before they escalate. Compliance in Brazil is not just about policies. It is about how risk behaves in practice. I help companies structure and review compliance frameworks with a focus on real exposure, including regulatory and criminal risk.

    What I do
    • Compliance program structuring
    • Risk exposure analysis
    • Fraud prevention strategies
    • Internal policy review
    Best for

    Companies operating in Brazil, startups, fintechs and international businesses.

    03

    Investigations

    When something doesn't look right, it usually isn't. Based on real experience in complex criminal investigations, I support companies in understanding what is happening inside their operations when risk materializes.

    What I do
    • Internal investigations
    • Fraud detection
    • Fact reconstruction
    • Data and evidence analysis
    Best for

    Companies facing suspicious activity, internal issues or potential misconduct.

    04

    Brazil Risk Advisory

    Understand Brazil beyond the law. Brazilian regulation is complex, but the greatest risk is often in how it is interpreted and enforced. I translate legal and regulatory frameworks into clear business decisions, helping international companies operate with confidence.

    What I do
    • Translation of legal risk into business language
    • Strategic guidance for foreign companies
    • Regulatory and enforcement insights
    • Cross-border risk support
    Best for

    US companies and international teams operating or entering Brazil.

    05

    Training & Ongoing Advisory

    Build internal awareness before problems arise. Most risks emerge from internal decisions and lack of awareness. I provide training and ongoing advisory to help teams identify, understand and prevent legal and compliance risks in daily operations.

    What I do
    • Executive training
    • Risk awareness sessions
    • Ongoing advisory support
    • Strategic decision support
    Best for

    Leadership teams, compliance teams and growing companies.

    If your company operates or plans to operate in Brazil, understanding risk early is what protects your business.

    About Me
    Tainah Lasmar Leon

    Tainah Lasmar Leon

    I work at the intersection of corporate risk, compliance and criminal investigations.

    My professional background was built inside the Prosecutor's Office in Brazil, where I worked on complex cases involving organized crime, financial misconduct and high-impact investigations.

    This experience shaped the way I approach legal risk today. I don't look at issues only from a legal perspective — but from how they actually develop in practice.

    Over the years, I have analyzed patterns, decisions and behaviors that lead companies and individuals from seemingly compliant situations into serious legal exposure. This allows me to identify risks that are not always visible in documentation, structure or initial analysis.

    My work today is focused on helping companies understand and manage these risks before they escalate. I support executives, investors and international companies operating in Brazil, particularly in environments where regulatory, operational and criminal exposure intersect.

    For US companies, I act as a bridge between legal systems — translating Brazilian complexity into clear, strategic and actionable decisions.
