‎Employment Lawyer in Brazil – Labor Rights & Legal Help

Employment and Labor Law Services in Brazil

Brazilian labor law is detailed, employee-centered, and constantly evolving. Whether you're an employer looking to manage your workforce lawfully or an employee facing unfair treatment, legal support is essential to navigate the intricate framework of Brazil’s employment legislation.
Alves Jacob Law Firm offers comprehensive employment law services to national and international clients. We assist employers, employees, corporate HR departments, and expatriates operating in Brazil. Our firm delivers precise, commercial, and strategic legal guidance from contracts and compliance to wrongful dismissal and union negotiation.

Why Employment Law Matters in Brazil

Brazil’s employment legislation—primarily governed by the CLT (Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho)—is known for its complexity and protection of employee rights. Noncompliance may result in administrative penalties, public labor claims, compensation demands, or reputational damage. Our firm helps businesses stay compliant and employees assert their rights under Brazilian law.
