Nearly three decades of business law — in-house at multinationals and alongside them as outside counsel.
We advise companies, investors and organizations on transactions that cross jurisdictions.
Cross-border transactions
International contracts, financings, joint ventures and the structuring of businesses across several jurisdictions at once.
Entering the Brazilian market
Setting up local operations, foreign direct investment, special customs regimes and the legal support of the first years of business.
Brazilian companies going global
Expansion abroad with local partner firms, from corporate design to tax compliance in each jurisdiction.
Permanent outside counsel
Mid-sized companies without an in-house department: contracts, employment, tax and governance under continuous care.
Senior-led legal practice: the lawyer who studies your matter is the one who handles it.
Before founding Murray Legal in 2016, Eduardo Murray spent almost two decades in first-tier law firms and in multinationals where complex transactions are routine — as outside counsel and as legal director on the client’s side.
That is the double perspective the firm offers: advice that solves, written by someone who has had to execute it inside a company. No matter is delegated to someone who has not studied it.

Meet the professionalsLawyers and consultants with careers in first-tier firms, in the legal departments of multinationals and in international financial institutions — corporate and M&A, litigation, private banking and business development.
