With the ability to assist with the entire life cycle of a real estate transaction, KLA Advogados is often called upon by major domestic and international clients for its expertise in purchase and sale deals, and the development, funding and regularisation of urban and rural properties. A reference in the market, Pedro Cortez boasts four decades of experience in real estate and urban development matters. Mariana Cortez draws on her corporate law background to advise on rural land acquisitions, timber assets, and build-to-suit arrangements. Other key individuals include Tomaz Matheus, who has advised on the structuring of multi-use, logistics and hotel projects, and Rodrigo Pontes, who has expertise in property registry and notarial law.
