As home to the recent World Cup and the upcoming Summer Olympic Games, Brazil has developed an exciting and fast-growing economy and has become a prominent global investment destination. And as Latin America's largest economy and the sixth-largest in the world, Brazil has created a broad and diversified economic infrastructure that offers U.S. companies opportunities to export goods and services to its growing population. Coupled with those opportunities for American exporters are many challenges in establishing a market presence in Brazil.

Please join Kegler Brown and Brazilian law firm Peixoto & Cury for lunch on Wednesday, September 10, as we come together to explore potential solutions to challenges in the following areas when conducting business in Brazil:

• Franchising
• Real estate + leasing
• Distribution agreements + commercial agency
• Mergers + acquisitions
• Labor laws
• Taxes

Speakers include attorney Rafael Villac Vicente de Carvalho from Brazilian firm Peixoto & Cury and Kegler Brown global business attorneys Martijn Steger, Luis Alcalde, David M. Wilson and Marcella Gurgel, a visiting attorney who is licensed to practice in Brazil.
