Hiring in Brazil: Think It’s Like the U.S.? Think Again!

Event

4.09.25
2:00 PM — 3:00 PM EDT

Join our dynamic panel of employment and labor attorneys for a fast-paced, eye-opening look at the critical differences between U.S. and Brazilian labor laws. If you assume that hiring, firing, and managing employees in Brazil works just like in the U.S., you're in for a surprise. We’ll cover:

  • Unions & Collective Bargaining – In Brazil, unions aren’t optional, and collective agreements carry real weight.
  • Settlement Agreements – Quick waivers won’t cut it; judicial ratification is often required.
  • Joint Employer Liability – Your company could be liable for far more than you think.
  • Employment Succession – Buying a business in Brazil? You'll be inheriting all its employment liabilities.
  • Vacation Benefits – Forget two weeks—employees are entitled to 30 days of paid vacation plus a bonus.
  • Immigration Issues – Learn about the visa requirements for hiring non-Brazilian citizens, from temporary business visits to long-term assignments or transfers.

Don’t assume that what works in the U.S. will fly in Brazil. Get the insights you need to avoid costly mistakes!
