Practice

A country of continental dimensions, populous, with logistics constraints and a very peculiar balance between consumption and savings, with a clear preponderance of the former over the latter – these are some of the characteristics that shape the challenges of retail and distribution activities in Brazil.

Huck Otranto Camargo has experience working with companies operating in retail and distribution, including supermarket chains, luxury retail, apparel and e-commerce. Its activities range from the structuring of operations, real estate leases and built-to-suit contracts aimed at distribution centers, to the constitution of surface rights.

The professionals in the area have extensive expertise in corporate operations and the negotiation and drafting of typical and atypical, simple and complex contracts, which include franchise, distribution and supply contracts, as well as advice on trademarks and intellectual property issues. We also advise on matters involving direct and indirect taxes, defending clients’ interests in administrative, arbitration and judicial proceedings involving tort law, consumer relations, data use and protection, as well as real estate and contractual issues.
