In service companies, the main asset is usually the team itself. This places at the center of legal management employment relationships, outsourcing, the corporate structure among partners and professionals, and the tax regime, which weighs directly on margins in people-intensive businesses.

With Brazil's tax reform, reviewing the tax burden on services has taken on strategic importance for the sector.
