Alana de Castro Barbosa is a lawyer specialized in Corporate Law and New Ventures, as well as in Family and Succession Law.
With experience in the legal departments of publicly held companies, Alana advises companies and families on matters involving the most diverse areas of Corporate Law.
Her practice stands out especially in structuring New Ventures, where she applies her deep knowledge and experience to guide entrepreneurs and startups from the conception stage to growth and market expansion.
In addition, her work in Family and Succession Law allows her to understand a business also as a heritage of values — a link between generations that requires strategic and sensitive legal planning.
Alana believes that the Law, more than a set of rules, is a language for organizing trust. She thus moves naturally between the complexities of the corporate environment and the emotional aspects involved in family and succession decisions, always focused on clear, coherent solutions aligned with each client’s purpose.
