In the coming weeks the city of Rio de Janeiro – also known as Cidade Maravilhosa – will host the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, respectively from 5 to 21 August and from 7 to 18 September. Thousands of people, including athletes, visitors, and tourists are expected to stride into the streets of Rio de Janeiro. In several cases, visitors may not be familiar with certain Brazilian habits, rules, and practices. Therefore, we at Almeida Advogados are pleased to provide a couple of Quick Notes, especially to foreign individuals. Almeida Advogados will also set up a 24/7 hotline during the Rio Games, in case any assistance is necessary.
We would like to seize this opportunity to welcome our foreign clients who have already arrived in Brazil in anticipation of the Games, encourage other foreign clients to make use of this occasion to explore the country and invite our local clients to join us in enjoying the spectacle.
In the spirit of the Olympics, we hope that you take part in the Games in some capacity. We would be pleased to receive you and invite you for a coffee at any one of our offices should you be in Brazil during this time, whether for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, for your holidays or just travelling.
