BACKGROUND

José Yunes has a degree from the Law School of the University of São Paulo. In 1961, he founded the law office José Yunes e Associados, quickly becoming one of the most respected in the country, the result of the ethics and principles guiding his work on behalf of his clients.
The success he attained propelled José Yunes into the public life, which he represented with distinction and dignity at both state and federal levels. It is important to highlight his role in the elaboration of the Federal Constitution and the Consumer Defense Code.
Upon fulfilling his parliamentary mission, becoming an indelible part of the history of re-democratization in the country and culminating in the restitution of the rule of law, José Yunes once again dedicated himself wholly to practicing law, beginning a new phase geared towards various areas of practice.

We offer services in administrative, preventive and judicial law, thus seeking to protect the legitimate interests of those we represent.
