Trench Rossi Watanabe

With extensive experience in inbound and outbound investments, Trench Rossi Watanabe is particularly well placed to assist with multijurisdictional transactions, drawing on its association with Baker McKenzie LLP. Buyers and sellers, including public listed and private companies, from an array of sectors – most notably energy, life sciences, agribusiness, education, technology and insurance – regularly turn to the team for advice on M&A, private equity and venture capital deals. The team is jointly led by a capable trio: Rio-based Anna Mello is a go-to adviser for energy and infrastructure clients; Daniel Facó brings together expertise in corporate transactions and capital markets; and Mauricio Pacheco stands out for his strong track record in private equity deals. The team was strengthened in August 2024 with the additions of Cristina de Freitas Bueno and Vitor Stern from Cescon Barrieu.
