Resumo: | This study explores the changing role of corporate lawyers in the construction and operation of a key area of the Brazilian economy over a 30-year period. The study looks at three periods in the history of the telecoms sector: the fall of state monopoly; the era of global restructuring, neo-liberalism, and privatization; and the recent resurgence of state activism and rise of a “new developmental state”. In each period corporate lawyers played important roles but these have changed as state policy has evolved. In the first two periods, Brazilian corporate lawyers worked to facilitate privatization and create a lightly regulated competitive market for telecoms services that would attract foreign capital. But things changed when the industry was faced with demands created by the new industrial and social policies. In this period, while some corporate lawyers have tried to resist state activism, others accepted the legitimacy of greater state intervention, showed a willingness to operate within the more flexible legal order employed by the new developmental state, and sought to negotiate effective partnerships between their clients and the activist state. This sequence of events encompasses changes in the field of state power, hierarchies in the legal profession, and core-periphery relations, which challenge existing theories about law, lawyers, and capitalist development. |

O estudo examina três períodos na história deste setor: declínio do monopólio estatal; reestruturação global, neoliberalismo e privatização; e o recente retorno do ativismo estatal, com a configuração de um “Novo Estado Desenvolvimentista”. Em cada um desses períodos, advogados de empresas tiveram importantes, porém distintas funções. Nos dois primeiros, eles trabalharam para viabilizar a privatização e criar um mercado levemente regulado para os serviços de telecomunicações, visando, em especial, atrair investimento estrangeiro. No entanto, este quadro se altera no momento em que políticas industriais e sociais características de um “Novo Estado Desenvolvimentista” trazem novas demandas para o setor. Neste novo contexto, alguns advogados de empresas tentam resistir ao ativismo estatal, enquanto outros aceitam a legitimidade de maior intervenção do Estado, demonstram disposição para operar no âmbito de modelos mais flexíveis, e buscam negociar parcerias efetivas entre seus clientes e o poder público. A emergência desse novo tipo de advogado e de advocacia demandará ajustes naquelas teses. Esta sequencia de eventos envolve mudanças no campo do poder estatal, hierarquias nas profissões jurídicas, e relações centro-periferia, as quais desafiam as teorias existentes sobre direito, advogados e desenvolvimento capitalista.Rede de Estudos Empíricos em Direito2016-08-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://reedrevista.org/reed/article/view/12410.19092/reed.v3i2.124Brazilian Journal of Empirical Legal Studies; Vol. 3 No. 2 (2016): Brazilian Journal of Empirical Legal StudiesRevista de Estudos Empíricos em Direito; v. 3 n. 2 (2016): Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direito2319-081710.19092/reed.v3i2reponame:Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direitoinstname:Rede de Pesquisa Empírica em Direito (REED)instacron:RPEDporhttps://reedrevista.org/reed/article/view/124/110de Sá e Silva, FabioM.
