São Paulo–based boutique firm in intellectual property, digital law, AI, and creator economy law. Brazilian counsel for foreign founders, creators, and businesses operating where risk is new.
We were born from the need to translate legal complexity into market velocity. We are business partners to entrepreneurs, creators, and companies transforming their industries.
We operate at the intersection of law, technology, and creation. We convert legal structure into real competitive advantage.
We understand the dynamics of digital. We speak your language. We design structures that protect your innovation at your pace.
Always business first.
Digital businesses don't fit the standard playbook. Each practice was designed for the reality of those operating online — not adapted from a model built for another economy.
The layer that turns creation into a registrable, defensible asset. Trademark and industrial design registration, work protection and licensing, notices, takedowns, and platform disputes.
Learn more →Drawing inspiration from the market is legitimate. Growing at the expense of the effort and reputation you built is not. Litigation in trade dress, parasitic competition, client diversion, and misuse of name before Brazilian courts.
Learn more →Advisory and litigation across every front of digital operations — contracts, platforms, regulatory compliance, disputes. Terms of use, policies, intermediary liability, moderation, e-commerce, marketplaces, SaaS, and digital products under Brazil's Marco Civil, the Consumer Protection Code, and sector-specific regulation.
Learn more →Legal support for creators, agencies, brands, platforms and foreign companies operating in Brazil's creator economy. Creator contracts, brand deals, image rights, copyright, advertising disclosure (CONAR), AI use of voice and likeness, licensing, monetization, takedown, and games & eSports.
Learn more →The right contract prevents disputes and turns relationships into results. Service agreements, digital products, licensing, image and voice rights assignment, audiovisual production, and creators.
Learn more →Personal data is no longer a byproduct of operations. LGPD (Brazil's General Data Protection Law) compliance, data mapping, legal bases, policies, terms, incident response, and ANPD (Brazilian Data Protection Authority) liaison.
Learn more →Corporate formation and reorganization, shareholder agreements, vesting, stock options, investment rounds, M&A, and holding structures for creators and technology companies.
Learn more →Generative AI in business, output authorship and ownership, training and data use, model supply contracts, and corporate governance of AI use.
Learn more →Tax planning for creators, digital product sellers, and platforms; royalty taxation, licensing, international payments, and cross-border operations.
Learn more →International from day one. We have served clients in eight countries — Brazil (São Paulo headquarters), the United States, the United Kingdom, Portugal, the United Arab Emirates, China, Japan, and Venezuela — pairing Brazilian law with the cross-border fluency foreign founders, creators, and investors need to operate in Brazil.
A lawyer is not someone who knows the law. They are someone who knows what the law does for the business. Every recommendation starts from reading the operation, the cycle stage, and the kind of bet the moment demands. Technique comes after — to sustain the strategy.
No legal path is neutral. Every choice has a price, a timeline, and a consequence. Instead of prescribing, we map the alternatives: what each route protects, what it compromises, what it costs. The decision is the client's. The execution is ours.
An opinion no one reads protects no one. Risk, path, and recommendation translated into timeline, cost, revenue at stake, exposed asset. Short, direct, actionable. Legal jargon stays in the filings — not in the client conversation.
"We understand the pace of creators and the scale of technology because we speak the same language."
Monika Hosaki has been an entrepreneur for over 20 years. She founded and operated businesses before, during, and after law school. She has practiced law for over 10 years, always at the intersection of technology, intellectual property, and new business models — the same frontier that shapes the firm today.
A professor, author, and frequent speaker, Monika has published articles and led editorial projects across intellectual property, technology, startups, and entrepreneurship, including the guide Entendendo o Marco Legal das Startups (Understanding Brazil's Startup Legal Framework). Her work has taken her to legal, innovation, and entrepreneurship events throughout Brazil.
Hosaki Law was born from the law firm Monika needed when she was a founder herself. Alongside the firm, she leads Creator Nexus, a consultancy dedicated to managing intangible assets: brands, IP portfolios, audiences, contracts, and revenue.
The result is legal work with technical rigor, shaped by someone who has signed contracts from the other side of the table, run operations, and made decisions under pressure.
Lectures, articles, interviews, and partnerships that update the market, train professionals, and shape the regulatory agenda of the digital economy.
Intellectual property, digital law, new technologies, contracts, and creator economy.
