About

Led by chief legal and administrative officer Alexandre Aniz, the legal team of Eletrobras, the largest utilities company in Latin America, has recently been involved in supporting the company’s significant asset sale program. In addition to the team’s work on a plethora of transactions over the last few years, external nominators point out the team’s ‘diligence and flexibility’ in facilitating Electrobras’ sale of CELG to the Italian utility company Enel for $647m. With lawyers working in various locations across Brazil, the team has made an impression with its strength in the regulatory, environmental and intellectual property areas. The aforementioned Aniz, in particular, has been singled out for his deep understanding of the specifics of the Electrobras business, as well as for his long-term planning and ability to influence business strategy.
