Nabuco Advisory
Navigation. Judgment. Relationship. Execution.
How We Work
Nabuco Advisory takes on engagements where deep market knowledge and legal judgment add the most direct value. We focus on market entry and intelligence, regulatory complexity and training.
Where in country execution is required, Nabuco coordinates it through a curated network of local legal and tax partners across our target markets.
"Navigation, judgment and results. No senseless paperwork."
Guidance on the right path into a specific market: which structure, which partners, which sequence of steps, which risks to price in before committing. Nabuco maps the route and frames the decision. This is navigation, not transaction execution.
In country incorporation, notarial acts and regulatory filings are referred to local legal and tax partners. Nabuco Advisory coordinates the network and ensures the client achieves its goals in each jurisdiction.
Legal and commercial representation for Global South companies entering the Dutch and EU market. Entity selection, regulatory compliance, selecting local partners needed to operate credibly in Europe.
The mirror service to Market Entry Guidance: Nabuco navigates Brazilian, Angolan and West African companies through the Dutch and European legal and regulatory landscape from the other direction.
A concise written brief, 5 to 10 pages, on doing business in a specific country or with a prospective partner company. Nabuco specialises in the commodities and natural products sectors across several countries, providing the legal framework, the regulatory realities, the cultural dynamics, the document requirements and the local authority timelines.
We also check the legal and financial standing of companies and economic agents in these countries, giving you the reassurance you need before signing a deal.
Keynote presentations, panel contributions and appearances at chambers of commerce, investment forums, energy and commodities conferences, and corporate strategy events.
Speaking is not a marketing activity. It is the core service through which we translate pragmatic knowledge into insight for your specific business interests.
Topics span Brazilian and Latin American market entry, Lusophone and Francophone Africa legal frameworks, CSRD compliance for Global South supply chains, and commodity sector regulatory risk.
Half day (3 hours) and full day (6 hours) sessions for commercial and legal teams on specific markets or topics within the highly regulated commodities and natural products sectors. The format is active: we argue, illustrate and challenge.
Maximum 20 participants. Available in Dutch, English, Portuguese and French. Custom modules developed on request.
Written advice on CSRD, EU Taxonomy and CSDDD obligations as applied to Global South operations and supply chains. Gap analysis and practical recommendations for Dutch and Belgian companies with exposure to Brazil, Angola, Mozambique and Francophone Africa.
Carbon credit advisory covers the legal framework of Brazil's SBCE carbon market law, REDD+ mechanisms, and Verra and Gold Standard verification frameworks.
Nabuco offers focused legal opinions on a specific cross-border legal question, including international contract drafting, across a broad range of regulated sectors. This draws on qualification as legal counsel in both Brazil and the Netherlands, and extensive experience drafting legal instruments across a wide range of industries.
Engagement
Every engagement is different. We price based on the scope, complexity, and duration of the work, not a fixed rate card written without context.
Curious what a specific engagement might cost? The conversation starts with a brief description of what you are working on, and we will tell you honestly what it takes.
You describe the situation: the market, the question, the timeline.
We assess what is needed and propose a scope and a fixed fee, or an hourly arrangement where that better serves the engagement.
You decide. Work begins only when the terms are agreed in writing.
All fees quoted exclude Dutch VAT.
Beyond Our Scope
What we do not do in house, we refer. Over years of working in these markets, we have built relationships with lawyers, tax advisors, and specialists in each jurisdiction we cover.
