Sacha Calmon e Misabel Derzi Consultores e Advogados

Boutique firm Sacha Calmon e Misabel Derzi Consultores e Advogados fields a sizeable group of tax specialists who are trusted by clients from the mining, real estate, food and beverage, telecoms and banking sectors (among others) for both contentious and non-contentious tax mandates. Its ‘broad and in-depth knowledge’ encompasses tax planning, indirect taxation issues, and administrative and judicial tax litigation, including before the superior courts in Brasília. The team is strengthened by its strategic links with the firm’s São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasília offices. The department is jointly led by litigation and disputes heavyweight Valter De Souza Lobato, considered by one client a ’reference’ in tax law; and André Mendes Moreira, who has extensive litigation and tax consultancy experience, with a keen focus on the telecoms, energy and mining sectors. Other key contacts include Sacha Calmon Navarro Coelho, the ‘highly distinguished’ Misabel Abreu Machado Derzi, and managing partners Fernando Moura and Tiago Conde.
