LGPD compliance in Brazil for foreign companies
Brazilian legal support to turn data flows, contracts, notices and responsibilities into a data-protection routine that works in the local operation.
5,0 · 18 Google reviewsCompliance is not limited to producing a privacy notice. The work starts with the processing that actually occurs, identifies purposes, legal bases, sharing and risk, and converts the assessment into documents, decisions and routines the company can maintain.
Legal workstreams in an LGPD compliance project.
- Assessment and inventoryInterviews and organisation of material processing, purposes, data categories, actors and sharing.
- Legal bases and retentionReview of the legal justification for each flow and the criteria for keeping and deleting data.
- Third-party agreementsData-protection provisions covering roles, security, subcontracting, incidents and termination.
- Policies and noticesExternal and internal documents aligned with the company’s practices, audience and channels.
- Data-subject rightsA workflow to receive, verify, assess, answer and record requests under Brazilian law.
- Incidents and governanceContacts, escalation, evidence preservation and legal criteria for assessment and notification.
The documents must match what the operation actually does.
A useful project starts with the systems, forms, vendors and teams that process data. Generic templates can declare practices that do not exist or omit material flows, increasing inconsistency rather than reducing it.
Brazilian legal compliance must connect with information security and operations. We define legal requirements, agreements and decisions; technical measures are implemented and validated by the company’s technology and security teams.
This service covers an LGPD compliance project for foreign companies. For general guidance on concepts, rights and the foundations of Brazilian data-protection law, see our related articles.

Common questions.
Does every company need the same LGPD compliance project?
No. Scope depends on the data, size, sectors, vendors, data subjects and risks involved. Priorities should follow the real operation rather than an identical document package for every company.
Is the project complete when the policies are delivered?
No. Policies and agreements record decisions, but the company must apply workflows, train contacts, handle requests and review changes to systems, vendors and products.
Does the firm implement information-security controls?
Our role is legal. Requirements and responsibilities are defined with the company, while technical controls should be implemented and validated by technology and security professionals.
Can the work cover only one Brazilian unit or product?
Yes. A project scoped by process, unit or product can be appropriate when clearly defined, particularly to prioritise higher-risk operations or a specific launch.
Can you advise on contracts and international data transfers?
Yes, within the legal scope. We assess roles, provisions, sharing and mechanisms applicable to the flow, considering current Brazilian regulation and the contractual structure.
How long does an LGPD compliance project take?
Timing depends on scope, team availability and the number of flows and third parties. A schedule is proposed after the initial assessment and may be divided into priority phases.
Does your Brazilian LGPD programme need to move from paper to practice?
Show us the principal data flows, systems and vendors. We organise a compliance scope aligned with the operation.
