About BMA Advogados

BMA began as a Corporate Law and M&A boutique, but the diversity of legal issues involved in conducting business led it to broaden its vision and activities. The firm's commitment to its clients and its availability, agility and willingness to innovate have made BMA what it is today: a full service firm with a highly motivated, integrated and specialized team, made up of more than 600 professionals. BMA's partners and associates have in-depth knowledge of the public and private, regulated and non-regulated sectors, and are tireless in their pursuit of creative, daring, sophisticated and advantageous results for clients.

The program supports social actions that promote Education, Culture and Social Impact Entrepreneurship, mobilizing members from different areas of the firm, lawyers and other professionals, to donate their time and support in three ways: pro bono work, volunteer work and Solidarity BMA.
Diversity and Inclusion. Inclusion and respect for plurality. For the BMA, these are the engines of social well-being.
