JL Soares is a strategist, entrepreneur, and specialist in counterintelligence and the resolution of complex cases, founder of Perseu Counterintelligence, an international structure dedicated to neutralizing high-complexity human, corporate, and institutional impasses.

Educated in an elite academic environment — having studied at Gordonstoun International School in Scotland, the same institution that educated King Charles III — he developed from an early age a global view of leadership, discipline, and strategic analysis.

A descendant of one of the pioneering families of Brazilian road transport, founders of Viação Andorinha, JL carries in his background the DNA of management, expansion, and resilience that guides all his business fronts.

After leading a long and complex judicial interdiction process involving his mother — the case that gave rise to the creation of Perseu — Soares coordinated legal, technical, and behavioral operations involving attorneys, physicians, and real-risk situations with individuals linked to criminal organizations.

Once the interdiction was concluded, guardianship was assumed by one of his sisters. Despite the family’s legitimacy, management divergences limited the continuation of the original technical plan. Perseu maintained institutional conduct, choosing to preserve family ties and restrict its role to the consultative and technical-observation sphere.

In addition to Perseu, JL is the founder of Smith & Lemes, a high-end executive transportation service for foreign visitors to Brazil, recognized for its standard of security, discretion, and operational excellence.

Today, Soares leads Perseu’s global expansion with an active presence in Brazil, Israel, Russia, and the United States, applying the same standard of strategic precision, legality, and confidentiality that has made Perseu one of the leading private counterintelligence structures in Latin America.
