We are a full service firm specializing in the complex infrastructure of international assignments. Many companies and expats, with and without families, have trusted our reputation and expertise, and we continue to be leaders in our field, not only in Brazil, but abroad as the only Brazilian company. Sometimes we lead, sometimes we walk side-by-side, and many times you will lead, and we'll follow behind. If you fall, our hands and "know-how" will be there to aid you, although most of the times we anticipate problems. We are physically located in the US and Brazil, but our network is global - there is no milestone we don't walk along for our clients.

CONSULTING SERVICES
We strive to turn brainstorms into visions and visions into reality. Clients are urged to inquire about everything they deem necessary for a perfect plan. We make sure our clients are guided through a clear scenario, with all possible pros and cons. We appreciate transparency in our communication, and strive to work within pro-active rather than corrective measures.

Expatriation Policy
We are affiliated with the best international relocation councils, and enjoy a significant network of relocation policy designers and researchers. We can help benchmark the foremost current terms of conduct within your industry among others, carry cost analysis, tax/benefits equalization and perks relevant to mobility and that become a key determining element for international assignment acceptance (employer/employee).

We assess corporate clients needs and budgets and the assignees' level of satisfaction and needs. We advise, help create, write and implement international assignment policies and correspondence models; we help update and enhance existing policies, and implement changes.

Immigration Law
We are a team of lawyers, paralegals and GRs (Government relations) and IRs (international relations), with years of experience and exposure. Local labor policies very often conflict with foreign labor statute. Companies and new investors should be wary about immigration laws before setting their operations and planning to bring in foreign labor. Our company's core business is immigration, and we are proud to say we have not had one case unresolved during our existence due to our abilities to anticipate scenarios and to counsel clients on the do´s and dont´s. We enjoy invaluable contacts with federal, state and local agencies that enable us to anticipate regulations.

We assess employers' needs and budget, keeping in their frame of business needs and tax and social dues so that any financial burden is minimized.
We create alternative situations to every case in order for our clients to make the most suitable decision.
We personalize our services to visas per volume (for projects) and case-by-case so that we may minimize costs, social and fiscal taxes (locally and worldwide).

Income Taxation
This subject often tends to cause fear with visions of rising dollar signs for many employers and assignees. We are staffed by tax lawyers, accountants and certified tax advisers that address those concerns on a local and worldwide level, minimizing costs and personal stress. International assignees are usually required to withhold taxes on a monthly basis (Pay as you Earn). Some countries income taxes are higher than others, requiring an in-depth tax study so to whether assignees and employers should exercise a salary split or payroll deduction from their home country. Tax credits, levies and immigration interests must be considered for a better position. We can advise our clients to decide the most suitable alternative based on a thorough analysis.

Cost Analysis
We have created a great specialists network, each in different industry segment, so that a wide array of information - costs, availability, description of products - can help our corporate clients better decide when budgeting for assignments or negotiating benefit fringe with potential assignees.

We carry cost studies for:
     Cars
     Housing
     Cost of Living
     Schools
     Furnishing
     Domestic Help

Expats / HR Department Engineering
Our mission is to have multi-national companies realize the best return from investing in Brazil. Our mission not only serves the business, but extends mostly to the HR area. We strive to work together with HR to make the difference in the way that they address international assignments.

We have years of experience working inside HR and for HR, and our 360% view puts us in a privileged position to help our clients change/adapt their structure to the market and clients' needs.

As part of the new structure, we can also recruit and select expats coordinators throughout the final interviews and hiring process.

We also carry on-going training programs for team building and working with diversities, through workshops with various areas, or within a specific area.
