Singled out for its ‘professionalism, knowledge and responsibility’, Cescon Barrieu‘s arbitration group manages a diverse caseload, which, in addition to disputes arising in the context of M&A and joint ventures, also features matters concerning distribution agreements, construction projects and government contracts. Corporate and shareholder conflicts are a key area of expertise for Carlos David Albuquerque Braga in São Paulo, while Gabriel Seijo Leal de Figueiredo in Salvador focuses on contractual disputes. Based in Belo Horizonte, Luiz Nardy is noted for his experience in mining and environmental cases. Mauricio Fabbri, who handles arbitration and litigation, is another name to note in São Paulo. Senior associates Matheus Carneiro Lima and Rafael Bertão are skilled in both domestic and international proceedings. Edison Freitas, who regularly assists players from the worlds of construction, technology, real estate, banking and infrastructure, and Cinthia de Lamare, who is based in Rio de Janeiro, were welcomed to the partnership in November 2022. The group was strengthened by the arrival of Paulo Macedo Garcia Neto and Mariana Capela Lombardi Moreto from MAMG Advogados in August 2023. Since publication, Helena Abdo has left the firm.
