Civil Society Organizations Law
Brazilian democracy depends on a solid, active and plural civil society. Civil Society Organizations Law must guarantee the association and performance of associations, foundations, religious temples and social movements.
In defending the human right to freedom of association,
- We guide the constitution, merge, alteration, in-corporation, division, formation of joint ventures and closure of Civil Society Organizations, conducting broad debate on the best internal governance models and creating or amending bylaws and regiments that translate into simple language the functioning of the Organization;
- We guide the signing and execution of service contracts with the Union, the States and the Municipalities, especially on the basis of the Regulatory Framework of Civil Society Organizations, Companies, other Organizations and individuals, in order to guarantee the sustainability of the Organizations. Also, we defend administrative and judicial interests of the organizations in contractual matters;
- We guide and defend administratively and judicially the tax immunity of the Civil Society Organizations. Even without any certificate or registration, no Brazilian CSO must pay IRS, ISO, IOF, PIS, COFINS, CPP, ICMS, IPVA, ITCMD, IPTU, ISS, ITR or ITBI.
- We defend administratively and judicially the interest of Civil Society Organizations for the free exercise of their core activities. No organization may be obliged to do or not to do anything other than by virtue of the law, freedom of thought, ex-pressure and movement in the national territory being constitutional guarantees.
“Everyone has the right to associate freely for ideological, religious, political, economic, labor, social, cultural, sports, or other purposes.”

Equalities Law
The law can be used strategically for the construction of equalities. Differences in gender, sexuality, race-ethnicity, socio-economic conditions, religion, national origin and ability can not imply discrimination in treatment or access to goods and services in Brazil.
In defense of the human right to equality,
- Somando à agenda de atos do Dia Internacional das Mulheres, o escritório Dora & Oliveira passará a atender especificamente a demanda de assédio moral e sexual, aos sábados, das 10 às 13h, em sua sede. Atuando no combate a discriminações, tanto no âmbito jurídico quanto para além do direito, a assessoria busca não apenas medidas reparatórias, tais como indenização e compensação financeira em casos de assédio moral e sexual, mas também medidas pedagógicas e preventivas, a fim de traçar estratégias para a promoção da igualdade. Assim, ciente de que o silêncio sobre esses atos ainda ocorre pela falta de amparo e pela culpabilização das mulheres, propomos um espaços seguro de acolhimento, bem como de construção de mecanismos que busquem desnaturalizar as condutas de assédio moral e sexual perpetrados contra as mulheres.
- We act in cases of family law and domestic and sexual violence, aiming at the balance between the parties and the defense of children's interests;
- We work for the advancement of sexual and reproductive rights;
- We work to guarantee the right to nursey, the right to education and the special needs of children and adolescents;
- We work against discrimination, seeking reparation and compensation in cases of machismo, lgbtphobia, racism, discrimination by socioeconomic condition, religious intolerance, xenophobia and capacitism, be they practiced by the State, by companies or individuals.
“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.”

Social and Environmental Law
The survival of humanity depends on a radical change in the way we relate to the rest of nature. In this sense, Socio-Environmental Law must guarantee the protection of indigenous and traditional collective territories and help maintain biodiversity and sociodiversity in Brazil.
In defending the human right to a healthy and balanced environment,
- We guide and represent administratively and judicially indigenous and traditional organizations and peoples in the defense of their territories, seeking demarcation, sustainable management and regularization of entry and exit of third parties;
- We work for the environmental licensing of state or business enterprises, with the consultation of indigenous and traditional communities impacted;
- We orient and administratively and judicially represent indigenous and traditional organizations and peoples in the free exercise of their culture and religion, guarding the intellectual property of their traditional knowledge and signs;
- We work to guarantee reparation and compensation for environmental and social impacts caused in state or in-company enterprises.
“Everyone has the right to an ecologically balanced environment, which is a public good for the people's use and is essential for a healthy life. The Government and the community have a duty to defend and to preserve the environment for present and future generations.”
