Lawyer Rankings
Brazil > Corporate and M&A: High-end
(Leading individuals)Regularly turned to by a stellar roster of clients, comprising international and domestic companies, private equity funds, financial institutions and other active participants in M&A, Demarest Advogados ‘provides practical, actionable advice’ and ‘innovative solutions’ in the context of high-value inbound and outbound transactions. In addition to its strong credentials in cross-border M&A, the group is particularly noted for its experience in deals involving publicly held companies, where it can draw on its strong regulatory and compliance skills. Corporate governance and M&A specialist Luciana Cossermelli Tornovsky is well versed in cross-border transactions, including investments and joint ventures. With over two decades’ experience in corporate transactional matters, José Diaz maintains a broad practice centred on M&A, corporate reorganisations and international trade. Gabriel Kuznietz, who regularly acts for aviation and maritime clients, is also singled out for his experience in large-cap M&A. Brazilian household name companies, sovereign wealth and private equity funds routinely seek Thiago Sandim’s advice, while Ana Carolina Botto Audi excels in private equity and venture capital investments. Fábio Tayar and Marcelo Peloso – who focus on M&A, private equity work, and corporate reorganisations – are the stand out figures at the associate level. Since publication, the team has been reinforced by the arrival of Julia Visconti from Lobo de Rizzo Advogados in January 2024, and of João Busin from TozziniFreire Advogados in May 2024.
