Brazil-based law firm joins the network, expanding MGI’s global legal expertise
Joining MGI Worldwide in 2024, law firm Bernardes Silva Ciochetta (BSC) based in Curitiba, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, looks to expand its network and create valuable business opportunies for itself and fellow members.
BSC: Built on friendship
BSC was founded in 2006 by Raphael Bernardes da Silveira and a group of law student friends with a vision to make a meaningful impact in the legal field. Having secured their first clients, the headquarters was set up in Curitiba in 2007, and the first employee hired. Over the years, the firm has grown steadily and is now a well-respected, 10-partner practice. "We set out to create something impactful, and our growth reflects that commitment," says Raphael.
BSC specialises in tax solutions, financial and capital markets, M&A, and credit recovery. The firm provides strategic legal solutions for businesses and investors, focusing on tax burden reduction, credit recovery, and optimizing corporate structures.
Joining MGI Worldwide strengthens our international presence, expands our network, and creates valuable opportunities for our clients and partners. It enhances our ability to establish strategic alliances and grow our global reach.
Industries & clients
BSC serves financial institutions, investment funds, asset managers, brokerage firms, and businesses seeking tax efficiency and sustainable growth. The firm’s multidisciplinary approach enables them to deliver tailored legal strategies that align with their clients' needs.
A positive start
Our experience of MGI, so far, has been excellent! Connecting with members at the 2024 Latin America conference in Cartagena, Colombia, and at the 2024 AGM in Rome, has already provided us with valuable insights and new opportunities. We look forward to building strong relationships within the network and contributing to the growth and strength of MGI in the region.
Strategic locations
Curitiba in southern Brazil, where BSC headquarters are located, is known for its strong economy, innovation, and business-friendly environment. With well-developed infrastructure, the city attracts investment across various industries, making it an excellent base for businesses looking to expand.
Over time, BSC strategically strengthened its presence by establishing offices in two major financial and business hubs, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. With a broad national reach, the firm provides legal services and representation in complex litigation and advisory matters across the entire country, reinforcing its position as a leading player in the legal sector.
With its expertise, strategic vision, and commitment to excellence, BSC is a valuable addition to MGI Worldwide. We look forward to seeing the firm thrive within our global network!
