Secondary practice areas include:
Brazilian follows Civil Law while the United States follows Common law. In addition to the differences coming from these two different legal systems, firms also differ in how they are created, regulated, and advertised.
Law firms can be formed in Brazil only after authorization from the Bar authority. However, in the US, law firms are based on general business entities such as LLPs and PLLCs.
