Demarest Advogados

Demarest Advogados handles a variety of arbitration proceedings before both domestic and international arbitral bodies. Core areas of activity for the team include corporate and contractual disputes, as well as cases involving the construction and infrastructure sectors. Camila Biral, who frequently acts for clients in litigation and arbitration cases arising from contractual, IP and corporate disputes, and Amanda Sampaio, who is a qualified dispute resolution lawyer in Brazil and New York, are now the main points of contact in the department. The firm experienced a major blow when former practice heads Celso Xavier , Marcelo Inglez de Souza, Rafael Gagliardi, and partners Carlo Verona and Daniel Kaufman left the firm in May 2023. Post publication, the dispute resolution practice was reinforced by the arrival of Ricardo Aprigliano as partner and the incorporation of Aprigliano Advogados in December 2023.
