Career
Joseph Person works as a partner of Noronha Advogados, a law firm headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil. The firm was established in 1978 and has developed an international practice with its own offices in Argentina, China, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Its European presence dates from 1988, and in 2000 it became one of the first law firms in the world to open an office in China.
In Brazil, the legal profession is regulated by the Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil, the national bar association that governs the admission and professional conduct of lawyers. Brazilian firms with international clients often combine domestic litigation and advisory work with cross-border transactions, a model that Noronha Advogados has pursued through its network of foreign offices and correspondent firms across Brazil.
Person's documented practice areas span several branches of law. Antitrust law, one of these areas, addresses anticompetitive conduct such as cartels and abuse of market dominance, and in the United States its federal foundation is the Sherman Act of 1890. Banking and financial, taxation, corporate, and labor law form further fields in which a general commercial practice may operate.
