Campos Mello Advogados in cooperation with DLA Piper
Covering both contentious and non-contentious mandates, the labour department at Campos Mello Advogados in cooperation with DLA Piper is frequently sought out by domestic and international clients operating in a range of industries, including TMT, energy, retail, aviation, and real estate. Leading the practice, Mauricio Tanabe specialises in collective dismissals, industrial actions and class actions, while litigation specialist Marcio Meira de Vasconcellos regularly handles pensions, benefits and expatriation-related matters, with a particular focus on the infrastructure, oil and gas, and real estate sectors. Widely recommended by clients, associate Flavio Luduvice is experienced in litigation before labour courts, due diligence procedures, and employment agreements. The team was strengthened by the arrival of Ana Cristina Valentim in November 2022 from Felsberg Advogados.
