Are contingency fees legal in Brazil?

Yes. Success fees (honorários de êxito) are lawful and common in Brazil, often combined with a smaller fixed fee, and the OAB Code of Ethics requires moderation and recommends a written contract. Separately, the losing party pays statutory fees (honorários de sucumbência) to the winner's lawyer under article 85 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
