Firm Description:

IDEAC was created from the Support Group for the Resolution of Contractual Controversies of the FDTE – Fundação para o Desenvolvimrnto Tecnológico da Engenharia, the latter having become one of the references in Brazil in the area. In more than 45 years of activities supporting the Escola Politécnica da USP, FDTE carried out projects for large public and private companies, which required state-of-the-art
engineering and advanced technology. As a natural move – in order to preserve the independence of the group specializing in arbitral or judicial expertise and technical assistance – IDEAC emerged, taking over activities formerly carried out by the FDTE itself. Thus, tradition and modernity walk together, represented by FDTE and IDEAC.

IDEAC maintains a technical cooperation agreement with the FDTE and, therefore, with Escola Politécnica da USP, a center of excellence in research and development of Engineering in Latin America. It thus unites the capacity and experience in contract management of its professionals to the “state of the art” of knowledge in engineering provided by researchers and professors at the Escola Politécnica da USP. Our challenge is always to make available to those involved in contractual disputes engineering knowledge, which is often complex and included in technical expertise or assistance. We produce synthetic, direct, and enlightening works.
