Brazil underwent dramatic structural changes from the 1990s to the early 2000s. ?National and international companies entered markets that had been state monopolies ? energy and telecommunications are examples ? and attracted foreign and local investors looking for good opportunities. BMA was forged in this decade of change, inspired by a mission to find innovative solutions that are legally viable and sustainable in an environment of rapid development, new regulatory frameworks and new business models in almost all sectors of the economy. Inspired to be a pioneering law firm, ready ? and more than able ? to take on the big projects and big problems that require sophisticated solutions.
