Mr Giovani Tomasoni > Trench Rossi Watanabe > Brasilia, Brazil > Lawyer Profile

Expert services in the management of critical contaminated areas, structuring of take-back schemes, and increasingly, ESG and climate change matters, distinguish Trench Rossi Watanabe as a practice closely ‘aligned with the most recent trends’ in environmental law. Multinational and large domestic clients look to the firm for counsel on sensitive issues relating to class actions, infraction notices, licensing, forestry, solid waste, biodiversity, protected areas and human rights. Based in São Paulo, the team operates under the leadership of Renata Amaral, a ‘hands-on’, core resource for nature-based solution projects, carbon credit transactions, decarbonisation strategies, and carbon-related advocacy and regulatory advice, and the ‘assertive’ Giovani Tomasoni, who supports corporations in the internalisation of sustainability, ESG, circular economy, and environmental compliance practices. At the senior associate level, Alexandre Jabra carries a wealth of experience in contamination, pollution, solid waste management, protected areas and minorities; Manuela Demarche Mello Neira directs her attention to environmental liability, licensing proceedings, M&A transactions, and cross-border disputes; and Livia Ribeiro Lupinacci lends her expertise to take-back schemes, ESG, and biodiversity matters.
