Spreading its sector-specific experience across regulatory consulting, project development, PPAs, financing, M&A, and disputes before administrative, judicial and arbitral courts, Souto Correa Advogados advises clients from all power segments. Transmission connection agreements, biogas-to-power projects, distributed generation, and wind and solar power projects have recently kept the energy team particularly busy. In São Paulo, Tiago Figueiró, who has a stellar reputation in high-profile transactions in the renewables sector, assumed the position of practice head in September 2023, taking over from Fabio Di Lallo and Livia Amorim, who left the firm in the same month; Figueiró was formerly at Brookfield Asset Management. Otávio Domit, based in Porto Alegre, is the key point of contact for contentious matters, managing complex litigation at the judicial and administrative level. Counsel Eduardo Rodrigues Evangelista joined the São Paulo office in November 2023, having previously served as co-lead at Siqueira Castro – Advogados.
