Trade relations between France and Brazil
Brazil and France are countries which have cultural ties and a greatly strong business relationship. According to the data of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Brazil is the first trade partner of France among all Latin American countries.
Over the past few decades, the two countries have established strategic partnerships which allow for the rise of different business opportunities. In this regard, we can highlight the military, spatial, energy-related, commercial, judicial, educational, cultural, and even cross-border cooperations between French Guiana and the State of Amapá.
Nevertheless, to succeed in international business between the two countries, it is necessary to understand the significant differences which exist between the laws, jurisdictions, regulatory and commercial practices specific to each of the two States.
For this reason, Manucci Advogados set up its French Desk. A unit specialized in advising projects, businesses and investments which are part of the relations between France and Brazil.
