A new firm, built on experience at leading firms.
R/CN was established in 2024 to advise companies on matters that combine legal risk with reputational risk. The practice behind it was formed over more than ten years in leading Brazilian full-service firms and in a US firm with a global practice.
We work alongside in-house counsel and management, and we say plainly when litigation is not the best route.
We work with co-counsel and local counsel when a matter requires it.
Prevent. Prepare. Respond. Rebuild.
The same matter changes in nature depending on when it reaches us. The work starts before the problem and does not end when the crisis passes.
Prevent
Structures, contracts, policies and decisions that reduce exposure without stalling the business.
Prepare
Clauses, records and an evidence trail built for the dispute that does not exist yet.
Respond
Legal coordination, preservation of evidence and fast choices under pressure.
Rebuild
Remediation, review of controls and governance, to prevent recurrence and restore confidence.
A lean firm, by choice.
In any matter, a few decisions determine the outcome. That is where senior time goes: the person who reads the case is the person who decides, with no layers in between.
Artificial intelligence tools support document review, comparison of versions and first-pass issue spotting. The work is always reviewed by the responsible lawyer, who is accountable for it.
We do not organise the firm around rankings or a publication calendar. We write when there is something worth saying, and the rest of the time goes to client work.
