Pedro Magalhães > Madrona Fialho Advogados > Belo Horizonte, Brazil > Lawyer Profile

The 2023 merger between Madrona Advogados and Fialho Salles Advogados has only increased the bench strength and range of expertise of Madrona Fialho Advogados‘ tax practice. The group has notable experience in litigation and transactional tax matters, although it also offers consultancy services including due diligence and regulatory compliance. The team is regularly engaged by a number of mining clients, but maintains an expanding client base, where companies from the energy, healthcare and construction sectors are also featured. Co-leading the practice are Patrícia Lima and Pedro Magalhães, who specialise in tax litigation and tax consulting, respectively. Lima is regularly involved in high-value lawsuits involving tax reductions and exemptions, while Magalhães is recognised for advising companies on tax planning, M&A transactions, and contracts. Another key member of the team is senior associate Leandro Vieira who contributes to both the litigation and advisory teams; he concentrates on tax planning, tax credit recoveries, and drafting legal opinions on tax matters. Rafael Malheiros notably joined the firm as partner in February 2024 from Felsberg Advogados.
