Described as a ‘firm with a high technical knowledge’, Mattos Filho’s full-service structure extends to its insurance department, which is well versed in a range of contentious and non-contentious matters. Working in close collaboration with other firm-wide teams, such as corporate, litigation, tax and employment, the group is proficient in transactional, regulatory and dispute resolution mandates in the insurance, reinsurance and private pensions sectors. The high standard of the team is set by its two most senior partners, both leading experts in this field: Camila Leal Calais‘s expertise covers insurtechs, M&A, reorganisations, regulatory and compliance matters, while Marcelo Mansur Haddad has advised on a wide range of insurance-related transactions and regulatory issues. The team also counts on the expertise of Adriano Guatimosim Carneiro, who handles M&A, bancassurance and distribution matters and joined from BMA Advogados in December 2023, and Thais Arza Monteiro, a seasoned insurance litigation partner.
