Especially active in buy-side mandates, the team at Castro Barros Advogados is also often engaged by sellers in a range of corporate transactions and general corporate law matters, including mergers, acquisitions, sales, distressed deals, and corporate reorganisations. The firm is a popular destination for agribusiness, hospitality and real estate players, but is also active in the retail, insurance, financial services and defence sectors. Helen Gaudio Valente Figurelli handles a mix of M&A, international contracts and private equity matters, while Guilherme Tepedino Hernandez also acts for clients in the drafting and negotiation of commercial contracts.
