Rated for its ‘deep knowledge’ of capital markets transactions and local law, TozziniFreire Advogados manages a mix of transactional and regulatory mandates. The team is regularly engaged by financial institutions, Brazilian issuers and securitising agents, and stands out for its presence in the securitisation market, where it advises on the structuring of asset-backed real estate (CRIs) and agribusiness (CRAs) securities. Boasting over two decades’ experience in capital markets mandates, practice head Alexei Bonamin has recently advised on the public offering of CRIs, debentures issuances and investment fund-related matters. Ricardo Stuber is no longer at the firm.
