A popular ‘choice for sell-side M&A’, Cescon Barrieu combines ‘the strength of a firm with national reach and a strong local presence in Salvador’. Besides its strong capabilities in business transactions, the Salvador-based team is often instructed by multinationals, domestic corporations, investment funds, financial institutions and entrepreneurs in high-end deals involving the infrastructure and real estate sectors. Commercial arbitrations and cross-border litigation also feature on the group’s portfolio, which is managed by Gabriel Seijo Leal de Figueiredo; he possesses longstanding experience in multijurisdictional deals, contractual matters and corporate litigation. Senior associate Marcos Flávio Lago Lopes is active in proceedings before judicial and arbitral tribunals, while Vicente Coni Jr. handles real estate-related matters.
