Bridging U.S. Vision with Brazilian Public Opportunities

For more than two decades, Route Consultoria has guided international companies through the intricacies of Brazil’s public-procurement environment. Founded and led by attorney and professor Ricardo Ribas da Costa Berloffa — a drafter of local regulations for Brazil’s New Public Procurement Law (Law 14 133/2021) ß— our firm translates legal complexity into actionable business strategy so that U.S. enterprises can compete confidently and compliantly for federal, state, and municipal contracts.

We understand that Brazilian bidding procedures differ markedly from the U.S. FAR framework. Electronic reverse auctions, mandatory local-content rules, and extensive transparency requirements can feel daunting, especially in Portuguese. Route Consultoria stands at this intersection of law, language, and market intelligence, providing end-to-end support that minimizes risk and accelerates market entry.

We are a company specialized in advising on public procurement and administrative contracts, offering services that range from training professionals in the field to participating in public sessions and preparing defenses, appeals, requests for economic rebalancing and price adjustment, as well as filing judicial claims—always with the goal of ensuring our client’s success.

Our Team

Composed of lawyers, engineers, accountants, and auditors—was formed on the premise that the most important aspect of our work is to fully meet our client’s expectations and needs, ensuring that the actions taken today result in minimal complications in the future.

We aim for solid results, with the speed our clients require and the innovation necessary to sustain the goals already achieved.

To this end, we have developed a set of specialties designed to provide the best performance in these areas, delivering the most up-to-date legal positions, legal theories, and preventive measures to mitigate future risks.
