Our History

In 1998, Ronaldo Rayes and João Paulo Fagundes, former members of Brazilian renowned law firms founded Rayes & Fagundes.

Such partnership began immediately after being introduced by a common friend, Cássio Scarpinella Bueno, one of the most recognized specialists in procedural law in Brazil.

João Paulo was an assistant professor of Cássio, and Ronaldo had just left law firm Martins & Sálvia, where he coordinated for a long time the Tax Law team.

In view of the mutual desire to found a differentiated law firm to address the actual needs of the clients seeking for legal support, the partnership Rayes & Fagundes Advogados was established.

A dynamic and modern law firm that emphasizes the quality in the provision of services and the excellence, supported by an environment fully directed and dedicated to each client.

Operating for over two decades, with consistency and recognition, Rayes & Fagundes is focused on the client retention by maintaining the same fees charged on the inception date.
