There is much discussion in Brazil regarding models of criminal liability for legal entities and their potential incompatibility—on the one hand, with the theory of crime, and on the other, with traditional theories concerning the purposes of criminal punishment. The author intentionally chooses to address a different issue, tackling the difficulties that arise during the actual imposition of criminal sanctions on collective entities. Yet, he does not limit himself to debating whether current Brazilian rules on sentencing for legal entities violate the principle of legality—specifically regarding the requirement for precise statutory definition or the prohibition of *analogia in malam partem*—nor does he restrict himself to suggesting *de lege ferenda* solutions. With courage, rigor, and insight, he proposes a “feasible” model for determining sentences for collective entities under current law (*de lege lata*), notwithstanding the various shortcomings and numerous problems he identified throughout his research.
