This law affects companies conducting direct or indirect activities in Brazil, whether through an employee, independent contractor, subsidiary or as part of a supply chain. The law applies to companies, regardless of their corporate or legal form, whether foreign or domiciled in Brazil, and whether the unlawful act is committed within or outside Brazilian territory.
