Lawyer Rankings
Brazil > Corporate and M&A: High-end
Combining regulatory, transactional and multijurisdictional capabilities, Cescon Barrieu houses an ‘extremely agile and committed’ corporate and M&A practice which is well positioned to handle a significant volume of large-cap deals on behalf of major public corporations, privately-held companies and financial institutions. Working in close collaboration with antitrust, tax, labour and securities experts, the team is active in an array of sectors, including telecoms, IT, consumer goods and energy – the latter being an area of particular strength. Maria Cristina Cescon, who is highly regarded for representing financial institutions, corporations and private equity funds in investment matters and high-value M&A, and Marcos Flesch, a name to note for joint ventures, restructurings and corporate governance, co-head the group. Tech companies, PE funds and financial services conglomerates regularly turn to Ronald Herscovici for advice on leveraged acquisitions, tender offers and M&A. Cristina de Freitas Bueno (who has a strong background in investment banking), Darkson Delmondes Galvão and Ana Carolina Castro Reis Passos are all experienced across the full range of corporate transactions; and Luciana De Castro Mares Torres is a key contact for energy, retail and agribusiness clients. Corporate governance and public M&A are among Fernanda Montorfano Gibson’s areas of expertise, while Eduardo Lanna is particularly recommended for his performance in power deals. Other individuals of note include Vitor Stern, Manoela Miranda (who is regularly instructed by clients from the pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, retail, and food and beverages sectors), and senior associate Isabel Trigueros. Matheus Fernandes was raised to the partnership in November 2022.
