Pinheiro Neto Advogados

An impressive roster of clients, including major investment banks, Brazilian and global companies, turn to Pinheiro Neto Advogados for advice on leading capital markets transactions, including cross-border deals. Showcasing equal strength in acting for underwriters, issuers, selling shareholders and sponsors, the team handles a balanced workload, where debt offerings, including CVM- or SEC-registered offerings, feature alongside private placements, offerings of agribusiness (CRAs) and real estate instruments (CRIs), investment fund structuring mandates, and follow-on offerings. A reference in the market for ECM work, most notably IPOs, Henrique Lang is at the helm of the practice. Ricardo Russo takes the lead on DCM matters, including domestic and cross-border offerings of fixed-income instruments and financial institutions. Guilherme Sampaio Monteiro specialises in equity deals, M&A involving public companies and corporate governance, while Rafael Gaspar focuses on derivatives and agribusiness securitisation structures. Recently promoted counsel Camila Misciasci Derisio acts for financial institutions and corporate issuers in public offerings of debt and equity securities, as well as private placements.
