Peck Advogados
Over 20 years ago, in one of the first books to touch exclusively on the topic, our founder Patricia Peck wrote that a new area of practice in Law was emerging driven by technology: Digital Law. Society was changing, and Law would also follow this transformation.
It was not a separate discipline, but an interdisciplinary area, which would involve all areas of Law and permeate all fronts of the business of our clients.
Since then, we have become the pioneer and leader firm in this area that we have helped to consolidate in the private, public and academic sectors in Brazil.
