I cant remember the name but there was a company mentioned in another thread which is a brazilian law firm with offices in london and is a good firm (according to posts on here - so maybe by people working for the said company, who knows) |
Tim,
What you wrote in your previous post is mostly correct (it is R$3k and up for the company, and you don't need to go to Brazil to sign). Anyone from outside of Brazil can only open a Ltda., so this is really the only choice and as you say it is wisest to talk to a lawyer.
Regarding the lawyer you are talking about in London, I contacted them ages ago about opening a company for me and the woman I talked to seemed more interested in pitching me to send our clients to them than opening my company. I didn't even receive a quote for the services that I required so I went elsewhere.
Dotty's lawyer friend might be good, but there is no way on earth I would deal with a lawyer who uses a hotmail email address, that doesn't seem very professional to me.
10km PM me if you want the name of the lawyer I used.
