The Gap in the Market

Most European advisors haven't been there. We have: on both sides of the Atlantic.

Dutch and European companies lose deals in Brazil for the same preventable reasons. Wrong structure. Unsuitable contracts. No one in the room who understands the local legal landscape — or speaks the language, literally.

Nabuco Advisory guides European companies through the legal, regulatory and commercial complexity of Brazil and Latin America. We do it with authority built from working in those markets, not simply reading about them.

"Navigation. Judgment. Partnerships."

Where We Work

Two continents. One practice.

Latin America

Brazil and beyond — where European capital meets tropical complexity

The Netherlands is Brazil's fourth largest export destination. The Port of Rotterdam is the primary gateway for Brazilian commodities into the EU. Yet many Dutch companies enter without a legal guide who speaks the language, knows the regulatory landscape, and has stood in those rooms.

The Netherlands

Companies from Latin America — arriving in Europe

The Netherlands is one of Europe's primary gateways for investment and trade. Brazilian and Latin American companies increasingly seek a Dutch or European foothold. Nabuco Advisory guides them through the legal and regulatory landscape from the other direction.

What We Do

Services

Advisory and intelligence sit at the centre of what we do. Speaking and training follow naturally from that experience.

The right structure, the right partners, the right sequence — for Brazil, Uruguay, Panama and beyond. We focus on navigation: from the idea to functioning status.

02

Speaking Engagements

Keynotes and panels at chambers of commerce, investment forums, and commodities conferences. The arena where authority is established and mandates begin.

03

Training & Workshops

For commercial and legal teams working on Brazil and Latin American markets. Active format. Four languages. Half-day, full-day and custom.

04

ESG & Carbon Advisory

Environmental compliance for Latin American supply chains. Carbon credit advisory for Brazilian and Latin American REDD+ and reforestation projects.
