(Leading individuals)Mattos Filho is home to a highly specialised capital markets team that is regularly involved in Brazil’s largest offerings. The firm is especially strong on the underwriter side; its recent advice to a syndicate of Brazilian banks on the R$33.7bn Eletrobras IPO is testament to its standing in the market and reputation as a go-to destination for major equity listings. Debt work also features prominently on its workload, as does investment funds-related matters and regulatory issues concerning securities. The firm fields a strong selection of debt and equity specialists who are noted for their ‘quick responses’ and ‘proactiveness’. Key debt partners include: Frederico Kerr Bullamah, ‘a lawyer with in-depth technical knowledge‘ of financing and capital markets transactions; Bruno Tuca, who leads on the majority of DCM transactions for major Brazilian corporations; Marina Anselmo Schneider, who is especially active in the infrastructure sector; and Flavia Magliozzi. On the equity front, Caio Cossermelli has extensive experience in IPOs and follow-ons, Jean Marcel Arakawa is a reference for corporations, financial institutions and institutional investors seeking assistance in ECM matters, and Vanessa Fiusa handles both transactional, regulatory and corporate governance work.
