Who I am
Who I am

Attorney. CEO.
Speaker.

I'm an attorney and Executive Director of Franceschini Advogados Associados, a boutique strategic litigation firm based in Rio de Janeiro.

My purpose is clear: to protect business trajectories through applied legal strategy.

With 16 years of practice, I work in legal strategy for asset protection, Digital Law, LGPD (Brazilian General Data Protection Law) and legal technology. I preside over the Future of Law Committee at OAB-RJ (Rio de Janeiro Bar Association) and coordinate the Artificial Intelligence and Legal Practice program at ESA/OAB-RJ.

Speaker on Digital Law and legal technology. In 2026, I was part of the Brazilian delegation at the Deposit Ceremony in the Arctic World Archive in Longyearbyen, Norway.

The Firm

Franceschini
Advogados Associados

As head of Franceschini Advogados Associados, a boutique firm, I lead complex corporate disputes with applied legal strategy and technology as an instrument for results.

For business owners facing disputes, I offer direct, technical and institutional conduct from start to finish, focused on results and asset preservation.

I believe technical excellence and institutional ethics are not differentiators: they are foundations. I don't practice in volume. I practice in relevance.

Franceschini is strategy.
Franceschini is presence.
Franceschini is decision.

Positioning

I'm not the lawyer who talks about technology.
I'm the entrepreneur who already operates with it.

When I step on a stage, the business owner doesn't see a specialist merely explaining AI. They see someone who thinks like them, understands business, risk and decision-making, and uses the law as an instrument to protect what they have built.

Security

I see where the risk is, before it arrives.

Vision

I see what others haven't noticed and act before they do.

Loyalty

When you hire me, I am on your side. Entirely.

What I believe

Convictions that guide
every decision.

Technology is not the future of the law — it is already the present. Those still debating whether to adopt it have already fallen behind.

Business owners don't need to understand the law. They need someone who understands their business and uses the law to protect it.

Loyalty is not a differentiator. It is a foundation. Without it, no strategy works.

A misstep in the digital environment can destroy in days what took years to build.

Legal strategy is not reaction — it is anticipation.

Practice

Practice areas.

Strategic Corporate Litigation

Representation in complex judicial disputes involving assets, reputation and business continuity — with strategy and firm positioning.

Asset Protection

Legal structuring for business owners and companies who need to protect what they have built over decades.

Digital Law and LGPD

Compliance, adequacy and legal defense in matters of personal data, privacy and digital liability.

Legal Technology

Artificial intelligence, automation and innovation applied as tools of efficiency and competitive advantage in the legal profession.

Speaking

Topics where I have
authority.

Artificial Intelligence in Law

The use of AI in the training of legal professionals, ethical limits, and its impact on the future of the legal profession and the Brazilian judiciary.

LGPD and Digital Law

Strategic compliance with LGPD, personal data protection, and the legal liability of digital platforms.

Cyber Crimes and Digital Protection

Crimes against children and adolescents in the digital environment, the symbolic language of perpetrators, and digital literacy.

Future of the Legal Profession

Digital transformation of the legal profession, new procedural perspectives, and applied technological innovation.

Strategic Civil Litigation

Strategic practice at the appellate level, civil procedure before the courts, and high-complexity corporate disputes.

Career and Leadership in Law

Mentorship, professional development, legal entrepreneurship, and how to stand out as an attorney.

Advertising and Ethics in Law

The use of artificial intelligence within ethical limits, legal deontology, and online advertising for attorneys.
