The Firm
Institutional tradition and strategic insight in service of complex matters
Schwab Alonso Advogados is a boutique, strategic law firm based in Brasília, Brazil, handling high-complexity litigation in civil, criminal, tax, administrative, corporate, social security and constitutional law, as well as before Brazil’s superior courts.
Our practice combines deep technical-legal command with refined strategic insight, offering clients qualified representation across civil, criminal, tax, administrative, corporate, social security and constitutional matters.
Formed by partners with consolidated experience at Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court and other superior courts, the firm provides counsel in legally significant matters, with a focus on in-depth technical analysis and lasting, trust-based relationships with each client.
Beyond its strategic work in major litigation, the firm also dedicates part of its practice to pro bono cases, selected for their social and institutional relevance, helping expand access to justice in sensitive matters.
How We Work
Three pillars of our practice
Institutional insight
A career built within strategic bodies of Brazil's Federal Public Administration and Judiciary, including the chambers of a Justice of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) — giving the firm a practical understanding of how decisions are actually made inside the courts.
Technical depth
Every case is handled with in-depth analysis, original legal theories and carefully defined appellate strategy — no one-size-fits-all formulas, always accounting for the particularities of the client and the matter.
Personalized attention
A boutique firm with a deliberately limited number of active cases at a time, allowing for close attention, fast responses to urgent matters, and direct involvement of the partners at every stage of the process.
