Carrilho&Cafareli Associate Lawyers began in the early 1960s, in the capital of Parana, with lawyer Eros Carrilho acting in the civil, commercial and tax areas.
In the early 1970s, Brazil was in the process of modernization and the legal environment became more complex, with the arrival of many foreign companies. The Firm, under the leadership of senior partners Eros Carrilho and Rubens Cafareli, was strongly involved in this whole process. It expanded its range of activities in the field of international law. It brokered and coordinated the implementation of most of those companies in the metropolitan region of Curitiba. One of the Office’s main works in this period was the establishment of CIC Industrial City of Curitiba S/A. The new company emerged from the branching of the Urbanization Company of Curitiba, a fact that also led to the foundation of the current URBS – Urbanization of Curitiba S/A.

That adverse scenario revealed the Firm’s expertise for structuring transactions and providing legal advice on executions of economic-financial corporate feasibility, including effective strategies to obtain the few official resources available.
