Mattos Filho was the first full-service Brazilian law firm to establish an affirmative action program for hiring black people. Launched in 2019, the firm’s Soma Talentos program is directed at self-declared black law students. Mattos Filho is also the only law firm in Brazil with job positions exclusively reserved for black lawyers.
As well as gaining firsthand experience in the day-to-day operations of one of Latin America’s most respected law firms, program participants have access to classes and training in English, effective communication and professional etiquette, along with mentoring and meetings on a range of specific themes.
We seek to offer an inclusive work experience and help these professionals maximize their potential in different areas of law, as we believe that providing these opportunities will be beneficial both to society and to our business in the long term.
With a humanized approach to people management that cares for our people, we recently launched the firm’s new hybrid work model, providing more balance in our professionals’ day-to-day lives. We have also put many initiatives in place to benefit our professionals, including policies for taking days off, shorter work hours during certain periods of the year, as well as parental and religious freedom policies, among others.
As one of the most respected law full-service firms in Latin America, we practice across more than 40 areas of law, making us the ideal strategic partner for Brazilian and foreign clients. We support social action, promote diversity and inclusion, and conduct initiatives in defense of human rights and access to justice.

Soma Talentos gave me the chance to grow and develop both professionally and personally in one of the largest law firms in Brazil. The social inclusion that the program achieves for young black people is fundamental for progressing toward equality in society.
