Recognising how this has globalised over time, Ronaldo Martins & Advogados seeks to break with the normal standards and traditions of worldwide law firms, heralding a new era of operation for such companies that will influence a new standard of knowledge, whilst also demystifying the law. In this way, it can also apply its overall values. Essentially, these have formed the pillars upon which the rest of its operations have been developed, such as obeying and following strict rules; this includes both the rules that it keeps internally, as well as the letter of the law, allowing it to remain an exemplary level of consistent service when handling its client’s cases. First and foremost, it aims not to expose its clients’ companies to risk – directly and indirectly – meaning that it will always have contingencies set up, allowing Ronaldo Martins & Advogados to work seamlessly around their existing assets. This, in part, is made possible by the diligence and tenacity of the founding partner, Ronaldo Martins. After setting up the headquarters in São Paulo, Ronaldo Martins was able to apply his years of experience and knowledge in the industries of tax, national and international planning, development, and labour or corporate law, as well as business management, such as mergers, acquisitions, and IPO. All of this is emboldened by the education he earned in graduating from the Faculty of Law in Mackenzie University in 1984. Before all of that, he cut his teeth working for the implementation of Fiat Autómoveis in Brazil, Betim, and the Fiat Allis tractor plant in Contagem-MG. Moreover, he gained directorial experience in becoming a leading legal director for one of the largest national business groups in the information technology field until 1990, when Ronaldo Martins & Advogados was founded with the benefit of all this background behind it. Currently, he is able to ensure Ronaldo Martins & Advogados partakes in many mergers and acquisitions, consolidating his breadth and depth of industry acumen into making the company the best it can be, carrying out transactions between national and international companies alike. He has, in this manner, become extremely proficient in the management of business tax planning through tax mitigation or optimisation, allowing clients to minimise the burden of taxation and be legally compliant. The assets held by Ronaldo Martins & Advogados are thusly the intellectual capital of the team itself, represented by its staff of partners, lawyers, interns, employees, and even clientele – after all, what makes this company such an exemplary law firm is that it is powered by people. It invests in everyone who walks through its doors, offering consistent and exemplary training and upskilling to its staff, and always keeping its clients at the forefront of its mind in order to allow them to adopt a new, strategic direction, that will allow them to tap into a new era of enhanced business development.
