Unparalleled in its mastery of electricity regulation, Ulhôa Canto, Rezende e Guerra Advogados navigates the intricacies of a plethora of issues faced by major players across distribution, transmission, generation, and trading. The generation and transmission segments are of prime purview, with energy auctions, self-generation projects, and sector-specific contract negotiations constituting recognisable team strengths. A work portfolio spanning administrative and judicial litigation, arbitration, projects, and M&A is further facilitated by deep-rooted relationships with regulatory bodies like ANEEL, and complementary collaboration with the firm’s tax, projects and infrastructure, corporate, and litigation practices. Industry veteran Isabel Lustosa heads the practice in São Paulo, and handles the gamut of regulatory matters, providing layered insights into disputes, bidding processes, project development and finance, and M&A. At the associate level, Luciana Yoshida coordinates large-scale transactions, and provides comprehensive assistance with regulatory compliance and due diligence.
