Littler Expands to Brazil; Partners with Chiode Minicucci

Littler, the world’s largest employment and labor law practice representing management, is pleased to announce a new correspondent counsel relationship with Chiode Minicucci, a leading labor and employment law firm comprised of 18 attorneys in Brazil.

The Chiode Minicucci team will partner with all the members of Littler’s global platform, which now includes a presence in 12 markets in Latin America and more than 1,500 attorneys across 24 countries. Littler recently announced an expansion into Spain, a move that further enhanced both the firm’s European and Latin American capabilities – given the strong ties between the two regions.

Chiode Minicucci is led by partners Daniel Domingues Chiode and Marília Nascimento Minicucci and has professionals in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul and Brasília. The firm represents management in both individual and class action litigation before Brazil’s Regional Labor Courts, the Superior Labor Court and the Brazil Supreme Court. Chiode Minicucci also provides counsel on employment and labor law matters to companies in a variety of industries, including pharmaceutical, chemical, technology, aviation, insurance, infrastructure, energy and retail.

Chiode Minicucci and its attorneys have been recognized as leaders in labor and employment law by such organizations as Chambers & Partners, Análise 500 Advocacia, Legal 500 and Leaders League. The team will work closely with New York-based Littler shareholder Renata Neeser, a native of São Paulo who previously practiced in that city, in coordinating support of clients’ needs in Brazil.
