The right of access to information is a fundamental prerogative of partners in simple and limited liability companies.
Provided for in Article 1,021 of the Civil Code, it guarantees transparency regarding the company's books, documents, and financial situation.
The Superior Court of Justice (STJ) has already recognized the scope of this right, distinguishing it from limited access in judicial reorganization proceedings. It is an essential tool for exercising corporate citizenship and good corporate governance.

Regardless of a partner's stake: the law guarantees everyone the right to examine company information.
