What are the most significant cases or transactions that your legal team has recently been involved in? 

Recently, the internal legal team worked on issuing debentures, M&A with the purchase of a company in the US, entry of an equity fund with a 25% interest and relevant tax reviews. The RIG team had a strong role in post-pandemic movements, changes in government and the compliance team revised the code of ethics and updated internal policies considering international standards such as FCPA and BBAct. 

Did the pandemic lead to a lasting increase in the interaction your legal team has with the strategic plans of the company?   

No Grupo Tigre temos reuniões semanais do Time de liderança, no qual eu participo. Durante a pandemia, tínhamos reunião diária como Comitê de crise e certamente nos proporcionou um mergulho nos temas, gerando maor entendimento do negócio. Mesmo com o término da pandemia, seguimos participando das reuniões do time de liderança com constante relacionmaneto com as áreas do negócio. 

At Grupo Tigre we have weekly meetings of the leadership team, in which I participate. During the pandemic, we had a daily meeting as a crisis committee and it certainly provided us with a dive into the issues, generating a better understanding of the business. Even with the end of the pandemic, we continue to participate in meetings of the leadership team with constant relationship with the business areas. 

 As we live in a fast-paced world today, what skills will a corporate legal team need to succeed in the modern in-house industry? 

We need to add value to the environment in which we operate. So, I understand that the quality of thought, relevant questions, looking forward is essential. We can’t just focus on solving problems, but look preventively and be an integrative legal team, which must relate with the company’s culture.
