The Firm
Institutional experience in service of complex matters
Schwab Alonso Advogados is a boutique firm based in Brasília, specialized in high-complexity litigation before the Supreme Federal Court, the Superior Court of Justice, the Superior Electoral Court and the Superior Labor Court.
Our partners have consolidated experience within the superior courts themselves, which brings a practical understanding of how decisions are built — a real strategic advantage in handling extraordinary and special appeals, written briefs and oral arguments.
We work with a deliberately limited number of active cases at a time, allowing for close attention and in-depth technical analysis in every matter we take on.
