Legal Outlook 2026 - Brazil: strategic trends across key practice areas

More than anticipating scenarios, this publication aims to support companies in building robust legal strategies capable of reducing risk, preserving value and sustaining growth in an environment of constant transformation.

In 2026, Brazil enters a phase of regulatory transition and maturity, marked by structural reforms, technological advancement, increased fiscal discipline, new compliance requirements, and significant changes in how companies operate, hire, invest, and engage with the market.

In this context, legal decisions move beyond a merely reactive role and take on a central place in business strategy, governance, and long-term sustainability. It is from this perspective that FAS presents the e-book "Legal Outlook 2026", a practical guide in which each chapter brings together objective analyses focused on what truly matters for decision-making: emerging risks, opportunities, and key issues that should be on companies’ agendas throughout the year.
