Manoel completed his high school education at the age of 15. He initially pursued studies in nursing, driven by a passion for biochemistry, before transitioning to medical school. At 18, Manoel followed his dream of becoming a ballet dancer and relocated from a small town in Paraíba to Rio de Janeiro. Unfortunately, his promising dance career was cut short by an injury.

Undeterred, Manoel embarked on a new journey in law, enrolling in one of Brazil’s most prestigious programs at the Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ). Today, he integrates his expertise in biochemistry, his creative insights from dancing, and his legal acumen to specialize in high-profile patent cases. Manoel’s unique background and interdisciplinary approach make him a distinctive and valuable asset for our firm.
