Mauricio Gomm dos Santos of Brazil and Quinn Smith of Miami join forces in 2009 to become Smith International Legal Services (now GST LLP), a new boutique law firm in Miami’s active international trade environment. Gomm dos Santos, 48, and Smith, 27, will serve the Brazilian community in Miami as the level of Brazilian investment in the US is increasing. “Commercial arbitrations featuring public concessions and Brazilian state-owned companies are also becoming more common,” says Gomm dos Santos.
