The David & Athayde Advogados law firm, associated to CCBC, can now count on a fully qualified professional to work with Canadian and Quebec law. Lawyer and partner Pablo Mourente recently completed the equivalence process – done at the Barreau du Québec, which is the professional association that oversees the practice of law in that province. As a result, he is fully qualified to provide legal advice both on Brazilian law, through David & Athayde Advogados, and on Canadian or Quebec law, through the Canadian firm Lex Start Avocats.

The availability of a professional who can act in both jurisdictions should facilitate the assistance to Brazilian companies and startups that intend to operate in the Canadian market – and, in the opposite direction, provide the necessary support to Canadian companies interested in developing activities in Brazil.

According to Mourente, who has been living in Montreal for four years, the qualification allows him to deal with cases involving both jurisdictions. “With the qualification, David & Athayde can continue providing legal advisory services related to business in Brazil, and, in partnership with Lex Start Avocats, it will also be able to deal with issues related to business in Canada, and the clients will have as interlocutor the same person qualified in both jurisdictions”, he explains.

Thus, the availability of a professional who can act in both jurisdictions will facilitate the assistance to Brazilian companies and startups that intend to operate in the Canadian market – and, conversely, provide the necessary support to Canadian companies interested in developing activities in Brazil.
