About

Goldman Sachs in Brazil prides itself on maintaining an elite in-house legal team composed of the best and brightest. As in the company’s offices throughout the world, Goldman Sachs Brazil looks to promote internally as much as possible, which leads to a group of employees with a high level of experience who are intimately acquainted with business practices across the group; the Goldman Sachs legal team in Brazil therefore possesses excellent business knowledge along with outstanding legal expertise. This also results in the team having a very low turnover of staff and high morale, both excellent attributes that allow it to rise to the myriad challenges faced by the high-profile financial giant that it serves. Managing director – head of Goldman Sachs Brazil legal department Ricardo Mourao took on his role with the Goldman Sachs legal department after a seven-year spell with Velloza, Girotto e Lindenbojm Advogados, during which he rose to the rank of partner. The reputation Mourao has carved out for success in moulding and supporting the business objectives of Goldman Sachs in Brazil is indicative of the top-level talent available throughout the organisation; he is just one example of many in the Goldman Sachs in-house legal team who share such qualities.
