Questions

How many English-speaking lawyers are there in Brazil?
We list 214, in 18 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
São Paulo, with 61 of the 214.
Is English unusual for lawyers in Brazil?
91% of the 234 lawyers we hold in Brazil are recorded as working in English. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.
