Tauil & Chequer Advogados

The ‘highly qualified and experienced’ team at Tauil & Chequer Advogados handles critical environmental matters for clients operating in a variety of industries, most notably power, chemicals, agribusiness, oil and gas, and mining. Its impressive portfolio features transactional, contentious and regulatory mandates, touching on issues as diverse as waste management, water resources, contaminated sites and protected areas. A strong performer in climate change matters, the team is a popular destination for large corporations seeking advice on greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets and net zero strategies; carbon credit project developers also recurrently turn to the group for assistance in risk management. Practice head Luiz Gustavo Bezerra, a specialist in international and EU environmental law based in Rio de Janeiro, often acts for clients in negotiations with governmental authorities, public prosecutors and other stakeholders. In the same office, recently promoted counsel Gedham Gomes is often retained by energy, infrastructure and agribusiness players in environmental compliance, risk assessment and carbon credit projects. Associate Victor Trevizan, who is based in São Paulo, focuses on pre-litigation and preventive consulting matters.
