English-speaking lawyers in Jaraguá do Sul

Jaraguá do Sul is an industrial town in northern Santa Catarina, known for electric motors, textiles and a strong German and Italian heritage. Engineers on assignment, foreign suppliers and partners of local families often look for English-speaking lawyers in Jaraguá do Sul when a Brazilian document lands on their desk.

Common requests include residence and work authorisation, employment contracts under the CLT labour code, buying a house, opening a local company and registering a marriage or divorce. Every advogado must be enrolled with the OAB, the Brazilian bar, and you can check a registration number with the Santa Catarina section online. Courts work only in Portuguese, so foreign papers usually need an apostille and a version by a sworn translator (tradutor juramentado).
