Campos Mello Advogados in cooperation with DLA Piper

With its ability to draw on the resources of its international partnership, Campos Mello Advogados in cooperation with DLA Piper is a popular choice for high-end domestic and cross-border M&A, corporate reorganisations, buy-outs and strategic alliances. The team has undertaken an impressive series of transactions of late, including several M&A and private equity deals across a wide variety of sectors, most notably energy, telecoms and sports. Senior partner Fabiano Gallo is retained by both buyers and sellers, particularly for big-ticket transactions involving the power and infrastructure sectors; in addition to his strong deal-making capabilities, he is also proficient in corporate governance. Gallo jointly oversees the practice with Miriam Machado Kleissl, who maintains a broad practice focused on M&A, contracts and corporate law, and often advises media and advertising clients. Kleissl and Mirella Kaufman, a seasoned practitioner in commercial contracts, joint ventures and venture capital deals, joined from Felsberg Advogados in November 2022. Other names to note for M&A and private equity matters include Carolina Marcondes Sant’Angelo and Renata Amorim. Rafaella Chiachio leads on telecoms-related work, while Oduvaldo Lara Júnior is regularly sought out by private equity funds, corporations and shareholders in relation to investments and corporate governance issues. Norlan Navarro stands out at the senior associate level.
