Freedom of Association

Freedom of association is a characteristic principle of democracies that consists of the right of people to choose their associates to pursue, by legal means, a certain end or objective.
However, this right does not have constitutional status in all countries. Its enrollment in the Constitution seems to be related to prevention in relation to the return of authoritarian regimes.
In the Brazilian case, the defense of freedom of organization, in the 1970s and 1980s, in resistance to the military regime, served as a motto for the emergence of numerous civil society entities that came to compose the first generation of part of the modern Third Sector.
SBSA law firm is associated with this cause, which materializes itself in the right of Civil Society Organizations to operate autonomously and preserved from any restrictions on rights or performance not provided for by law.
