About Barbosa Müssnich Aragão (BMA Advogados)

BMA began as a Corporate Law and M&A boutique, but the diversity of legal issues involved in conducting business led it to broaden its vision and activities.

BMA's partners and associates have in-depth knowledge of the public and private, regulated and non-regulated sectors, and are tireless in their pursuit of creative, daring, sophisticated and advantageous results for clients.

Social action. Giving back to society as a whole, through actions that lead to profound and lasting changes, is the mission we assume at BMA Inspiração. The program supports social actions that promote Education, Culture and Social Impact Entrepreneurship, mobilizing members from different areas of the firm, lawyers and other professionals, to donate their time and support in three ways: pro bono work, volunteer work and Solidarity BMA.
Diversity and Inclusion. Inclusion and respect for plurality. For the BMA, these are the engines of social well-being.
