Background
Drielle was admitted to the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB/SP) in 2010 and has worked with leading Brazilian law firms throughout her career, including Mattos Filho (as junior associate) and Motta, Fernandes Rocha Advogados (as senior associate), before joining Montgomery where she progressed from director to senior associate to partner. She holds a bachelor’s degree from PUC-SP and postgraduates in Business and Labour and Employment Law from Fundacao Getulio Vargas (FGV).
Drielle co-authored the widely cited IBA article “Legal Implications of Engaging an Employer of Record in Brazil“, one of the only independent legal analyses examining whether EOR arrangements hold up under Brazilian labour law.

Her practice covers the full range of employment law matters that foreign companies face when hiring in Brazil: CLT employment contracts, INSS social security obligations, 13th salary requirements, collective bargaining, terminations, and the legal risks of intermediary employment structures including EOR.
