The firm
Aquila Advocacia acts exclusively for companies that bid for public tenders and perform contracts with the Brazilian public administration. We know both the rules and the practice: the cost spreadsheet, the tender notice, contract oversight and the case law of the Courts of Accounts.
Our work is both preventive and contentious, before administrative bodies, external audit authorities and the courts, to protect the company’s competitiveness in the tender and the economic and financial balance of the contract throughout its performance.
Practice areas
Bid risks, qualification requirements and clauses worth challenging.
Defending the bid and the right to compete at every step of the tender.
