The firm operates in contentious, advisory, and corporate internal
investigation spheres, standing out for its close client relationships
and tailored solutions for a wide range of criminal law issues.
Drawing on extensive professional experience and a solid legal
foundation, Peret e Barros provides individualized and transparent
services, strategically and effectively safeguarding its clients'
interests in every specific situation.
In the contentious sphere, the firm assists clients from the initial
investigation phase through, if necessary, criminal execution,
representing them in criminal actions and appeals before the Higher
Courts. It defends the interests of defendants, victims, or third
parties involved in any criminal matter, whether individuals or legal
entities. The firm also handles the negotiation and execution of
criminal agreements, such as plea bargains and non-prosecution
agreements, and represents clients before professional regulatory
bodies (e.g., OAB, CRM, CREA) and internal disciplinary boards
whenever the facts carry potential criminal relevance.
The firm also offers advisory and preventive services in criminal
matters, including drafting legal opinions, managing crises, and
developing governance policies and programs while addressing potential
risks involved.
Peret e Barros has expertise in conducting corporate internal
investigations to identify misconduct during professional activities,
involving employees, suppliers, or business partners. These
investigations are carried out with utmost discretion and in
compliance with Brazilian law, and may involve collaboration with
technical assistants (specialized firms) when necessary.
