Azevedo Sette Advogados

More informationMore information

A popular choice for local and foreign clients – including concessionaires – from the logistics, energy, waste management, water, sanitation and social infrastructure segments, Azevedo Sette Advogados is often engaged in public tenders, privatisations, PPPs and concessions. Drawing on its national footprint, the team is well positioned to advise on infrastructure projects across Brazil, but maintains a particularly strong base in Belo Horizonte and strategic presence in São Paulo. Frederico Bopp Dieterich and Bruna Bouissou are the key points of contact in Belo Horizonte for financing, corporate and contractual matters, while Leonardo Moreira Costa De Souza and Natasha Midori Hinata, the latter of whom was promoted to partner in January 2023, are based in the São Paulo office.
