Stocche Forbes Advogados undertakes a variety of transactional work in all electricity segments, but is perhaps best known for its involvement in big-ticket financing, capital markets and corporate deals within this space. Typical mandates for the team, which works in close collaboration with the firm’s tax, environmental, real estate, compliance and labour practices, also include advising Brazilian and foreign companies in public tender processes and regulatory matters. The group is jointly led by a trio consisting of Rio de Janeiro-based partners Frederico Moura and Bruno Gandolfo, both of whom specialise in financing transactions and M&A, and administrative law expert Mariana Saragoça in São Paulo.
