Magalhães e Dias - Advocacia has established itself as a market-leading practice with a ‘profound knowledge of trade defence issues’. An already strong team was further enhanced by the recruitment of the highly rated associate Ana Luiza Sanches from Carla Junqueira & Associadas Trade Law, where she was a partner. The team’s ’excellent professionals’ are ‘fully committed to the demands of clients’, who instruct the firm on contentious and non-contentious matters. This includes support on anti-dumping investigations, public interest cases, public responses to trade negotiations, and requests for temporary tariff reduction. Gabriel Nogueira Dias oversees the department. Other key team members are partner Yi Shin Tang and senior associate Camila Emi Tomimatsu. Former co-head Francisco Niclos Negrao left the firm in February 2023.
