Muriel Advogados
Muriel Advogados is a specialised boutique firm focused on the resolution of strategic disputes through judicial and arbitral proceedings. Though only founded in 2021, the firm has already become an established name in the arbitration space, owing to founding partner Marcelo Muriel‘s longstanding reputation in the market. Core areas of activity include complex disputes concerning the infrastructure and construction sectors, but the team is also recurrently instructed by energy clients in arbitration proceedings involving large-scale power plants, renewable projects and LNG terminals. Founder Muriel possesses more than thirty years of experience in domestic and international arbitration, acting as counsel and arbitrator. Danilo Orenga is skilled in commercial, corporate and contractual disputes, while senior associate Giovanny Russo is recommended for cases involving corporate transactions and the agribusiness, construction and infrastructure segments.
