Veirano Advogados concentrates its power offering in transactions and project development, assisting a diverse array of clients with M&A, PPAs, construction agreements, project financing, and regulatory issues. Transmission and generation are key areas of work, with the team demonstrating proficiency in energy auctions, self-production, distributed generation, and solar and wind projects. The São Paulo practice is chaired by Daniel Engel, whose ‘unique knowledge of energy projects’ encompasses renewable generation, M&A, and financing, Ana Carolina Barretto, who excels in project finance and development, and Alberto Büll, who shines in regulatory matters, administrative litigation, and energy auctions. The team was strengthened in October 2023 by the addition of Souto Correa Advogados’ former co-heads Fabio Di Lallo, whose is noted for his experience in project structuring in the power sector, and Lívia Amorim in Rio de Janeiro, who advises on asset transactions and regulatory issues, as well as Juliana Melcop, whose expertise spans regulation, contracts, and M&A. Public law specialist Mauro Hiane de Moura in Porto Alegre leads on litigation, while associates Paola Oliveira Lima and Luisa Tortolano Barreto in São Paulo support on regulatory, construction, and transactional matters, and Rio de Janeiro’s Arthur Lardosa specialises in renewables.
