About

The global agribusiness and food company Bunge has been operating in Brazil since 1905 and is currently the country’s largest exporter of agricultural products. At the helm of this historic company’s legal department for almost 10 years is legal and compliance director Fernando Zanetti. He is supported by a set of experienced legal managers responsible for different areas as well a number of other talented legal counsel. Notable legal managers include Alessandra Rosa Soares who handles tax litigation, Judite Makabe who deals with compliance and Danilo Moreno dos Santos who is responsible for M&A transactions, corporate, contracts and antitrust matters. The team has been instrumental in overseeing company operations such as its vast distribution network – in 2016 Bunge Brasil exported a record volume of hydrated ethanol to India, the largest ever ethanol export by the company. With a possible sale of the company being mooted, Bunge in Brazil will be able to rely on the renowned expertise of its in-house lawyers to seamlessly facilitate any potential transaction.
