My ambition is simple: to be the advisor I wish I had found when I started working between Europe and South America. Someone who understands both sides, speaks the languages, knows the rules — and knows how to make them work for you.
— Alessandro Brenci
Attorney at law admitted to the Vaud Canton Bar, certified professional negotiator (ADN Group, Paris) and licensed financial intermediary (OAR FSA/FSN), Alessandro Brenci advises businesses, investors and institutions on their MERCOSUR-related projects. PhD in Law from the University of Lausanne (thesis summa cum laude, Prix Edouard Fleuret 2016), he combines academic training with practical business experience. His six languages and network of bilateral chambers of commerce allow him to operate across the entire EU–EFTA–MERCOSUR space.
Approach
A single point of contact
Law, negotiation, finance, international trade: you need only one expert to navigate the complexity of MERCOSUR agreements.
European and Latin American roots
A life path between Europe and South America that allows me to understand the business cultures on different sides, access local networks and work across Europe and South America.
Certified negotiator at your side
Beyond advisory, I accompany you directly in your commercial negotiations. ADN Group training (Paris, 2021), NSTAA method.
Triple regulated expertise
Bar-admitted attorney at law (professional secrecy), licensed financial intermediary (AML compliance) and certified negotiator. Three complementary expertises, one single contact.
Network of chambers of commerce
Switzerland-France, Switzerland-Italy, Switzerland-Latin America, Switzerland-USA, Uruguay-Switzerland. A concrete network to open doors.
Pragmatism and results
