Since its foundation, Demarest e Almeida provides assistance to its clients in drafting and negotiating civil and commercial contracts. Thanks to a team with extensive educational training on the matter, including post-graduation at some of the top universities in the world, the Contracts Department assists our clients with a pro-business vision that is always seeking the best defense, while keeping in mind that their major interest is to close a business with all possible safety.

These are some of the areas handled by our Contracts Department:

• Agreements for purchase and sale or personal and real property;
• Collateral (mortgage, pledge, etc.) and personal guarantee (surety and others) agreements;
• Distribution, agency and sales agency agreements; and
• Supply, cost sharing, turnkey and other agreements.

The collaboration of the Litigation Department enables the Contracts Department's constant updating on the Brazilian Courts' understanding of contractual provisions as well as of new contractual forms. In addition, our clients are assisted in domestic and international transactions with non-Brazilian parties. To accomplish that, our firm has the support of the extensive network of other law firms worldwide through our participation in the Lex Mundi group.
