01//Manifesto

We're not a traditional law firm.

We were born from the need to translate legal complexity into market velocity. We are business partners to entrepreneurs, creators, and companies transforming their industries.

We operate at the intersection of law, technology, and creation. We convert legal structure into real competitive advantage.

We understand the dynamics of digital. We speak your language. We design structures that protect your innovation at your pace.

Always business first.

02//Practice Areas

What we do.

Digital businesses don't fit the standard playbook. Each practice was designed for the reality of those operating online — not adapted from a model built for another economy.

01 //

Intellectual PropertyTrademarks, industrial design, copyright

The layer that turns creation into a registrable, defensible asset. Trademark and industrial design registration, work protection and licensing, notices, takedowns, and platform disputes.

Talk to us
02 //

Unfair CompetitionTrade dress and parasitic competition

Drawing inspiration from the market is legitimate. Growing at the expense of the effort and reputation you built is not. Litigation in trade dress, parasitic competition, client diversion, and misuse of name before Brazilian courts.

Digital Law & Creator EconomyPlatforms, Brazilian Internet Framework, monetization

The rules of the environment where your brand lives, sells, and answers. Platform liability, Marco Civil da Internet (Brazilian Internet Framework), content moderation, creator monetization, and online consumer relations.

Strategic LitigationDisputes, urgent relief, reputational defense

05//What sets us apart

How we think about law.

01 Strategy

Strategic vision

A lawyer is not someone who knows the law. They are someone who knows what the law does for the business. Every recommendation starts from reading the operation, the cycle stage, and the kind of bet the moment demands. Technique comes after — to sustain the strategy.

02 Options

Never just one path

No legal path is neutral. Every choice has a price, a timeline, and a consequence. Instead of prescribing, we map the alternatives: what each route protects, what it compromises, what it costs. The decision is the client's. The execution is ours.

03 Business

Business first

An opinion no one reads protects no one. Risk, path, and recommendation translated into timeline, cost, revenue at stake, exposed asset. Short, direct, actionable. Legal jargon stays in the filings — not in the client conversation.

06//Founder

Law built by entrepreneurs.

"We understand the creator's pace and the scale of technology because we speak the same language."

Monika Hosaki has been an entrepreneur for over 20 years. She founded and operated businesses before, during, and after law school. She has practiced law for over 10 years, always at the intersection of technology, intellectual property, and new business models — the same frontier that shapes the firm today.

She is a professor and author, with published articles and editorial direction on projects in intellectual property, new technologies, startups, and legal entrepreneurship — including the guide Entendendo o Marco Legal das Startups (Understanding Brazil's Startup Legal Framework) and the podcasts Transportar é Preciso and Negócios da Amazônia. Speaker at OAB (Brazilian Bar Association) events and innovation hubs across Brazil.

She founded Hosaki Advogados to build the boutique firm she saw missing in the Brazilian market: technical, authorial, and operating at the same speed as those it serves. She is also CEO of Creator Nexus, a practice dedicated to managing intangible assets: brand, IP portfolio, audience, contracts, and revenue.

Law with technical rigor, built by someone who knows what it means to sign a contract from the other side of the table, to be accountable for an operation, and to make business decisions under pressure.
