The Firm
A Brazilian Legal Practice with an International Perspective
Moraes Dazey Advocacia is a law firm based in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, founded by Brazilian attorney Francesca Moraes Dazey. The firm advises and represents clients in legal matters throughout the country. Its work reflects a legal career built in Brazil and an outlook shaped by life in both Brazil and the United States.
A grounding in business and tax law shapes how the firm approaches each matter. A decision about a contract, an investment or an asset rarely stands alone, and its effects can reach well beyond the transaction itself. Assessing a matter therefore means looking at those connections: how rights and obligations are structured, where difficulties are likely to arise, and what a given course of action will mean for the people involved.
Francesca Moraes Dazey
Founder and Principal Attorney
Francesca has practiced law in Brazil for more than a decade and is registered with the Santa Catarina Section of the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB/SC 32.764). She holds a postgraduate specialization in Tax Law, and her practice spans advisory work and litigation, including matters involving contracts, companies, property and taxation.
Having worked both in structuring legal arrangements and in resolving the disputes that arise from them, she assesses each arrangement in light of what it is meant to achieve and what can go wrong once it is put into practice. Her training in tax law adds a clear understanding of the obligations and financial consequences that follow from personal and business decisions.
The firm’s international outlook also has a personal foundation. Living abroad while keeping close ties to Brazil raises practical questions about distance, documentation, expectations and responsibility, questions Francesca has faced firsthand. That experience helps her understand clients whose lives, decisions and commitments extend across borders.
Through Moraes Dazey Advocacia, Francesca brings these professional and personal perspectives to an independent practice in which she remains closely involved in the work and accountable for its direction.
