The government relations team at Cescon Barrieu is known for advising clients – particularly NGOs, charities, and international companies – on public policies and legislative proceedings. The group is active in relevant and emerging discussions with the Federal Government, the National Congress, and the Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency, such as encouraging the inclusion of minority groups in the labour force and defending businesses in regulatory matters regarding substances subject to special control, particularly the medicinal and industrial use of cannabis. Luciano Inácio De Souza leads the team and has extensive expertise in aiding dialogue between the public and private sectors. His breadth of knowledge, spanning compliance, anti-corruption, and government relations, makes him adept at discussing challenging matters with government authorities on behalf of clients.
