About me

My name is Clivanir

I became a lawyer in 2019 (click here to check my name on the website of the Brazilian National Bar Association – OAB). Today, I work as a tax lawyer with a specialized practice in International Tax Law. I hold certification in international tax treaties to avoid double taxation, with technical training focused on tax residency analysis and the correct application of Brazilian tax rules in an international context for individuals and companies.

I completed a Legal Residency in the tax (fiscal) area and served as a Judge (member) of a Municipal Tax Court, an experience that adds solid technical, institutional, and practical perspective to my professional work. I assist Brazilian and foreign clients online, in Portuguese and English, with a commitment to legal certainty, tax compliance, and technical rigor.
