Zachariah Zagol — Founding Partner, ZS Advogados

Your Attorney in Brazil

Zachariah Zagol is the first American admitted to the Brazilian Bar (OAB/SP 351.356). He holds an LL.M. from USC Gould School of Law and has practiced Brazilian law for over 15 years from Presidente Prudente, in the heart of Sao Paulo's agricultural interior.

Unlike international firms that parachute in consultants, Zac lives in Brazil and has built his career here. He understands the practical realities of working with rural landowners, navigating INCRA, and structuring cross-border transactions — because he does it every day.
