According to the District’s report, Brazilian fintechs received $10.4 billion in investments over the past ten years. The amount corresponds to more than 66% of the total resources received by startups in Latin America, totaling $15.6 billion in the period. In this scenario of expansion, knowing how to manage contractual and legal pending matters becomes essential. Therefore, Barcelos Martins Advogados announces a new area of service dedicated exclusively to executives, including directors, advisors, and C-level professionals.
Recognized for its expertise in business and startup consulting, the firm structures a specialized squad to deal with bureaucracies involving investments, capital contributions, and partnerships. The decision to create this new area arose from the growing demand for personalized legal services for executives seeking not only to review employment contracts but also to manage more complex issues, such as stock option plans, non-compete agreements, and service contracts for professionals acting as Executives as a Service.
“In recent months, we have noticed a significant increase in the demand for legal guidance among these professionals, who wish to make strategic decisions safely and autonomously,” asserts Matheus Barcelos Martins, founding partner of the firm.
The multidisciplinary team that makes up this new area is composed of experienced lawyers in business consulting, labor, and corporate law, prepared to offer integrated solutions. Among the services provided are the review of employment and service contracts, structuring of governance agreements, consulting on variable compensation plans – such as stock options and phantom shares – as well as the analysis of non-compete and confidentiality clauses.
“The corporate market is constantly evolving, which increases the need for high-level assistance to ensure that all agreements are being fulfilled correctly,” explains Martins. “We are focused on market evolution and changes in customer needs. We want to expand the service portfolio and further establish our authority in the legal advisory segment,” concludes the founding partner.
