FAQ about games and esports lawyers

FAQ

01Do you work across Brazil and abroad?

Yes. Work is done online across Brazil and includes international contracts and registrations for clients abroad.

02How does it start?

With a short conversation to understand the case. Message on WhatsApp or book a slot on the online calendar.

03Can you help set up an association, team or league?

Yes. I handle bylaws, minutes, registration and tax ID, plus the rules and contracts so the team or league starts out properly set up.

04How do fees work?

Fees depend on the service and how complex the case is. They are set out in writing after the first conversation, following the Brazilian Bar fee table, with no surprises along the way.

05Do I need to visit an office?

No. Everything happens online: video calls, document sharing and digital signature of the engagement letter and power of attorney.

06Is what I send kept confidential?

Yes. Everything you share is covered by attorney-client privilege and handled under Brazil’s data protection law (LGPD).

07Is the outcome guaranteed?

No. No lawyer can promise an outcome. Each case depends on the facts, the evidence and what the other party does.
