Expertise

Luiz works with companies and individuals experiencing legal disputes to help them get what they are entitled to. His approach is straightforward: client focus, accuracy, and integrity.

He understands what clients go through when faced with a dispute — running a business or progressing a career while dealing with a legal dispute is tough. Disputes are best avoided but sometimes there is no easy way out. They consume resources (human and financial) and one’s most valuable asset: time. Therefore, he works with his clients to assess the case quickly and advises on the most practical options to resolve the dispute.

Luiz is dual qualified: England & Wales and Brazil.
