Law of BrazilCapstone
Capstone: Anna Berg and the Florianópolis coworking house
Anna Berg is an invented Norwegian entrepreneur who has moved to Florianópolis, in southern Brazil, to open Casa Ilha, a coworking house with a café. In one year, several things happen. She arrived on a visitor’s visa and has been running the house for pay. She needs the right company form, and plans to sell memberships through a local representative. She buys an apartment under a private contract from a seller who has not registered his own title. She hires Carla without registering her work card and then dismisses her with no pay. And she lives with Rafael Souza, a Brazilian citizen, in a stable union, and they have no wills. You advise Anna using the course and its three tools. Assume that everything is in Santa Catarina, that Anna is a Norwegian citizen, that Rafael is a Brazilian citizen and that the facts are as stated.
This course explains the law of Brazil, not US law. Rules that look the same elsewhere may be different.

See what is included in the Courses & AI Lab Pass →General education on the law of Brazil, using invented people and businesses. It states laws and procedures in simplified form and is not legal advice. The law and its practice change, and every case turns on its facts, the authority and the state concerned. It does not offer legal representation or a legal opinion on any case. Consult a Brazilian lawyer for any real matter.
