The litigation and superior courts team at BMA Advogados has extensive experience representing clients from a range of industries before the Superior Court of Justice, the Federal Supreme Court, and the Superior Labour Appeals Court. The team specialises in drafting appeals in response to court decisions and litigating disputes, while a specific area of growth has been the challenging of administrative decisions before judicial courts. Civil procedure expert André Macedo de Oliveira leads the practice and is noted for his former governmental positions, including acting as National Justice Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, which make him adept in administrative and judicial proceedings. Another active member of the group is associate Giovani Menicucci, who is recognised for his experience litigating before the Superior Courts, the Federal Court of Appeal, and the Brazilian Federal Court of Auditors.
