About

One of the largest pulp and paper companies in the world, Suzano Papel e Celulose – more commonly known as Suzano – pulled in $3bn in revenue during 2016 on the back of its mammoth operations. The legal function of the company is headed by the highly experienced Pablo Gimenez Machado, who was employed as chief legal officer for North Latin America at Louis Dreyfus Commodities Brasil prior to taking on his current role of general counsel and head of institutional affairs at Suzano. He has an excellent pool of talent available to draw from in the company’s in-house legal team, including legal manager of three-and-a-half years’ standing Walner Júnior who provides top-level management abilities in support of the legal team’s goals. In response to a growing portfolio of responsibilities, the Suzano legal team has been taking on new talent recently, with a number of notable additions being made to the team in 2017 to assist with its supply chain, facilities and government affairs legal capacity.
