About

Committed to the sustainability and growth of Rio de Janeiro, the Light Group has been involved for more than 100 years in the generation, commercialisation and distribution of electricity in Rio de Janeiro as well as developing solutions for the sector. Once a state-owned company, Light is today formed by a holding company, Light SA, which controls four other companies in addition to an institute. Chief legal officer, Fernando Antonio Fegunda Reis, heads Light’s diverse and talented legal team whose other notable members include legal manager for general litigation Tiago Câmara and senior lawyers Ilan Leibel Swartzman (for criminal and civil rights) and Kalhil Kalume (for business consulting, corporate law and financial markets). The department as a whole has been highly commended for working on a number of transactions whilst seamlessly handling legal matters on the company’s day-to-day activities.
