| Regulating Bodies |
| The function of the Regulating Bodies is to implement public policies planned by the Government, so that all business sectors are submitted to the action of at least one Body, even if it is indirectly.
Moreover, Regulating Bodies often surpass their powers, trying to extend the mechanisms of “self-regulation”, and this way they unjustly burden the companies, either financially through fees and abusive charges, or by imposing obligations that contrast to the general legal principle and free initiative. So, to preserve the rights and minimize the financial and administrative cost, companies need quick advice in relation to the Regulating Agencies, especially those centralized in Brasilia, without any harm from the Regulating Bodies created by the States. Within the activities of this area, following stand out: • judicial and non-judicial actions related to International Regulating Bodies; • follow up on administrative suits related to the Agencies; • adapting documents, aiming at attending the norms published by the Agencies; • legal questioning of charges made by Agencies. |
