Judgment, Business Leadership, and Trusted Advising in a Changing World
– Session 1: The Changing Profession and the Strategic Lawyer | 03/08
How the market for legal services is being reshaped by technology, artificial intelligence, shifting client expectations, and the increasing commoditization of routine legal work. What distinguishes trusted advisors from technical specialists? What business leaders say they need from counsel—and why so few lawyers are trained to provide it?
Topics include:
1. The changing legal marketplace
2. Technology, AI, and the future of legal services
3. The limits of technical expertise
4. The trusted advisor model
5. What clients value most
6. Building influence beyond legal analysis
– Session 2: Helping Business Leaders Make Better Decisions | 10/08
The core of the course. How executives process information, assess risk, and make decisions under uncertainty. The cognitive biases that undermine judgment and the tools organizations use to improve decision quality. The challenge of communicating with senior leadership. The concept of constructive skepticism and why lawyers are uniquely positioned—and professionally obligated—to exercise it.
Topics include:
1. Executive communication and decision-making
2. Board and management dynamics
3. Cognitive bias and organizational judgment
4. Systems thinking
5. Communicating with the C-suite
6. The lawyer as constructive skeptic
7. Improving organizational decision quality
– Session 3: Governance, Reputation, and Organizational Trust | 17/08
How governance systems, ethics and compliance programs, and organizational culture shape organizational trust and reputation. How reputations are built and how they fracture. The lawyer’s role in crisis leadership. The growing importance of governance and compliance as strategic business disciplines. The Brazilian compliance environment and the expectations increasingly imposed by international enforcement authorities, investors, and business partners.

1. Corporate purpose and legitimacy
2. Governance architecture
3. Ethics and compliance
4. Organizational culture
5. Reputation management
6. Crisis leadership
7. Building and maintaining trust
8. International compliance expectations
– Session 4: Business Strategy and What Global Clients Need from Brazilian Counsel | 24/08
The business strategy frameworks every lawyer advising sophisticated clients should understand: competitive advantage, industry structure, business models, platform businesses, and non-market risk. The session then turns to a question most lawyers have never had answered directly: How do general counsel at U.S. and multinational companies actually think about Brazil? What risks concern them most? And what do they need from local counsel that goes beyond technical legal competence?
Topics include:
1. Business strategy for lawyers
2. Understanding how clients create value
3. Competitive advantage and industry structure
4. Platform and ecosystem business models
5. Political, regulatory, and reputational risk
6. Non-market strategy
7. What multinational companies expect from local counsel
8. Cross-border advising and communication
9. Strategic lawyering in Brazil
Público-alvo: Advogados que atuam em prática privada e em funções internas (in-house) que assessoram, ou desejam assessorar, líderes empresariais de alto nível. O curso parte do pressuposto de que os participantes já possuem competência jurídica e se desenvolve a partir disso. Ele foi concebido para profissionais que reconhecem que as habilidades que tornam alguém um bom advogado não são necessariamente as mesmas que tornam alguém um assessor indispensável. O programa será especialmente útil para advogados que trabalham com clientes corporativos, empresas multinacionais, conselhos de administração, fundos de private equity, empresas familiares e organizações que atuam em ambientes altamente regulados ou em rápida transformação.
