We are excited to announce the launch of our Brazilian Desk at SMBC Law. This new milestone reflects our deep commitment to supporting clients at the intersection of Brazil and Switzerland, a connection that is stronger than ever and full of strategic opportunities.
Brazil remains one of the world’s most dynamic markets and an increasingly strategic partner for Switzerland. In 2024, bilateral trade continued to grow, with Swiss imports from Brazil reaching approximately USD 1.86 billion and exports to Brazil totalling around USD 3.56 billion.
At the same time, Brazil’s recent regulatory and tax reforms are transforming the business environment for foreign investors. The 2024 tax reform, in particular, establishes a dual VAT system and streamlines essential structures, opening new avenues for Swiss and international companies engaging with the Brazilian market.
With the Brazilian Desk, SMBC Law is ready to partner with companies leveraging this bilateral potential: whether Swiss businesses entering the Brazilian market, Brazilian companies seeking a foothold in Switzerland or Europe, or international groups navigating cross-border operations between both regions.
With lawyers qualified in both Switzerland and Brazil, we offer strategic guidance grounded in technical expertise and local insight.
We are ready for this new chapter and for the opportunities it will bring across both markets!
