About

Santo Antonio Energia operate one of the largest hydroelectric plants in Brazil, which has the capacity to supply energy for 45 million people across the country through the Madeira transmission line, ultimately increasing the energy security of the North and Southeast of Brazil. Santo Antonio Energia’s legal representation is led by General Counsel Alexandre Aguiar de Brito who has been praised by a private practice source for having the ability to directly handle ‘complex matters on several fronts’, which is necessary owing to the company’s diverse range of challenges that span regulatory, labour, contractual and corporate affairs. Utilising a mixture of approaches to develop the best possible solution in the face of several arbitrations the company is part of, de Brito delegates and works with external counsel on a regular basis to ensure risk is mitigated as much as possible.
