Part of the cooperation is the creation of a 'Brazilian Desk' in Germany and of a 'German Desk' in Brazil. Advogado and Brazilian national Denison Caldeiron, who had worked as lawyer at Veirano Advogados from 2004 to 2007, will manage the 'Brazilian Desk' for Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek at the Frankfurt office with immediate effect.

The cooperation intends to use the extensive business relations existing between the two countries. The law firms will jointly advise Brazilian companies that want to invest in Germany on German law and German companies on Brazilian law.
