Humberto Sanches e Associados

Established in 2020, boutique private client firm Humberto Sanches e Associados has fast become a key destination in Brazil for legal advice on wealth and succession planning. Highly sought after for its ‘extremely high knowledge in the area of ​​asset management’, the team manages a varied workload where inheritance matters feature alongside mandates concerning onshore and offshore investment structuring, patrimonial recovery and corporate governance. Leadership is shared between four seasoned practitioners: founding partner Humberto Sanches, who is highly regarded in the space and excels in matters involving corporate, tax, aviation and family law; ‘exemplary partner’ Adriane Pacheco, a specialist in the organisation of assets and succession issues; Beatriz Martinez, who focuses on multijurisdictional estate and succession planning; and Juliana Cavalcanti, a key contact for the structuring of onshore and offshore investment vehicles. Associate Izabel Nazarian stands out for her involvement in wealth and succession planning matters, including contentious issues. Flávia Gerola joined from Trench Rossi Watanabe in February 2025.
