Our Firm

Chalfin, Goldberg & Vainboim Advogados was founded in 2000 by professionals dedicated to embracing new challenges, committing to their clients and with the mission of ensuring creative solutions to each legal matter with which they were entrusted.

After 25 years of practice – marked by an outstanding path – CGV Advogados is recognized for its integrity and unwavering commitment to excellence in the provision of legal services. With national and international coverage, our firm provides legal services throughout Brazil while developing partnerships in the main capitals around the world.

When it comes to high-volume law practice, our system for monitoring processes is what sets us apart, as it was developed and perfected internally over the course of many years and to which we allocate resources on a permanent basis. We use state-of-the-art IT systems for matters related to the provision of legal services, thus allowing the delivery of unrivaled services of registration, agreements, closures and, of course, lawyering itself.

In the so-called strategic segment, CGV Advogados stands out for the broad array of legal talent and expertise of their team, which benefits the provision of comprehensive and pragmatic solutions combined to legal advice. In addition to our expertise, our strategic teams are also noted for ensuring full availability to our clients.

Technology

We use the Mylegal system for legal management that is customized, with capacity for integration with the systems used by clients and more than 70 software robots installed. We have a data-driven culture, where decisions are based on structured data under the governance of a legal controller, who is involved in all operations of the firm.

CGV Advogados invests heavily in innovation and technology, through an IT team with exclusive dedication, composed of developers and specialists in infrastructure, with the following differences:

  • Customized Mylegal system for legal management, with capacity for integration with the systems used by clients.
  • Development of systems and routines for automation (robots), to give greater assertiveness to the operational routines and reduce expenses.
  • Business Intelligence (BI) for reading indicators, utilization of robots and determination of operational workflow.
  • Online platform for settlement of cases, with totally automated sending of messages and negotiation.
  • “Intelligent case-closing queue”, which captures the developments of cases from the sites of the various court districts and indicate those that are nearing conclusion.
  • Structural organization of the firm in core teams (intake of new cases, settlements, control, payments and closing of cases), as well as teams (operational and legal) specialized by sector.

Diversity

Considering that diversity is an important instrument in promoting an inclusive work environment, CGV Advogados believes that supporting actions aimed at diversity and inclusion should be a commitment of the firm.

For this reason, the "CGV For Everyone" diversity committee was established. It aims to promote diversity in the work environment, regardless of color, race, gender, ethnicity, physical and personal characteristics, origin, age, religion, sexual orientation, and political views.

The committee works as an instrument to promote a plural, inclusive, and comfortable work environment for all, committing to act to prevent discrimination, prejudice, and intolerance, advocating respect between people, dignity, and equality.

As a result of the work carried out by the committee, CGV Advogados received the CESA Seal – Gender Equality in 2023 and 2024, being recognized in the "Engaged" category in research conducted by CESA – Center for the Study of Law Firms, which aims to enhance initiatives, promote inclusion projects, and establish goals for the advancement and recognition of professional women within the structures of law firms, both in legal and administrative areas.

Pro Bono

Pro bono work has always been part of the firm's practices, as a measure aimed at combating unequal access to justice.

In 2021, concerned with strengthening its operations in this segment, CGV Advogados entered into a partnership with the Pro Bono Institute, which acts as a bridge between the socially vulnerable population and non-profit organizations aimed at assisting them, and volunteer lawyers.

The pro bono practice is structured to offer the same quality and commitment in all suits sponsored by CGV Advogados, thus seeking to reaffirm the social role of lawyering.

Social Responsability

CGV Advogados supports several initiatives and organizations that carry out social assistance work for socially vulnerable groups.

The actions are aimed at building a more just and compassionate society, promoting awareness and encouraging the participation of all the firm's professionals.

Since 2023, CGV Advogados has supported Sou Segura - Association of Women in the Insurance Market, made up of representatives from the insurance market, aiming to raise awareness, empower and encourage the insertion of more women in this segment, through mentoring, events and consolidation of networking in the country's main companies.
