Brazil rewards those who understand it.
Saad Signal is written from Brasília, where the rules that set the cost of doing business here are made, and it follows them while they are still taking shape: what changed, who it binds, and what it means for the capital deciding whether to come.
It is written for foreign investors and their advisers, and everything in it comes from someone who works on these transactions rather than reporting on them.
Who writes here
Saad Signal invites experts and decision-makers to write about what they do, under the same rules as everything else here: interests declared, nothing written to promote anyone.
Editor & Founder
My name is Pedro Saad and I am the editor and founder of Saad Signal. I started it because foreigners weighing Brazil are served headlines and country overviews, not the specifics a decision requires.
I practice corporate law in Brasília as a senior associate at Starling Advogados, working on cross-border transactions, M&A and corporate reorganizations.
Saad Signal is where that work gets written down.
Saad Signal goes out weekly and takes five minutes to read. If you are weighing a decision in Brazil, or advising someone who is, that is where it earns its place.
