Chalfin, Goldberg & Vainboim Advogados is home to an ‘extremely technical’ insurance and reinsurance team that offers advisory, litigation and claims adjustment services, but particularly stands out for its strong credentials in financial lines. The department acts for a host of leading domestic and international clients within the insurance industry, and has worked on a wide spectrum of matters, ranging from maritime to civil liability issues, commercial and transactional mandates. Ilan Goldberg brings over two decades of experience in insurance and reinsurance matters, both contentious and non-contentious. Gustavo de Medeiros Melo excels in complex insurance disputes. The ’extremely knowledgeable’ Thiago Junqueira is another name to note for domestic and international insurance contentious matters, while Renato Chalfin advises on judicial and arbitral proceedings as well as non-contentious issues. Rodrigo Gomes De Sousa left the firm in July 2023, while Camila Mazzarella joined from Penteado & Raposo Lopes in the same month.
