About

One of Brazil’s largest companies, Cosan started off in the sugar and ethanol industry and has since diversified its operational portfolio. Today it focuses on investments on industries such as agribusiness, fuel and natural gas distribution, lubricants and logistics amongst others, and with over eight decades of operation behind it, Cosan’s business portfolio includes industry leading brands such as Raízen Combustíveis, Raízen Energia, Comgás, Moove and Rumo. It is here where the legal function has strengthened relationships with stakeholders and business partners and enabled it to safely pursue its strategic goals. Cosan has a strong focus on innovation, competitiveness, efficiency and respect for the environment, investing in sectors of critical importance to the development of the country. Its energy and logistics team for example is managed by a seasoned legal team, helping Brazil to lay the foundation for lasting and sustainable growth. Part of the team is made up of a tax litigation department which oversees internal conduction of legal proceedings and the elaboration of procedural documents acting in cases to recover credits arising from subsidiary convictions in labour lawsuits.
