With the Economic Freedom Act (Law No. 13,874/2019), the requirement for a director or administrator residing in Brazil has been eased for foreign companies. Now, they can appoint administrators residing abroad, provided that:
  • They have a proxy residing in Brazil, with powers to represent the company before regulatory bodies and receive judicial and administrative summons;
  • They comply with all regulatory obligations required by Brazilian legislation.
Brazilian companies seeking good corporate governance practices can benefit from appointing professional administrators, ensuring greater security and efficiency.
Our Corporate Proxy service meets this requirement, ensuring your company acts in compliance with the law. We also offer Professional Director/Administrator services to strengthen the organizational structure of Brazilian companies.
