With a strong presence in the transport, sanitation, healthcare and defence sectors, Pinheiro Neto Advogados' public law team guides 'clients through the somewhat convoluted and opaque Brazilian public tender process'. In addition to bidding procedures, the group is also adept in the economic-financial rebalancing of contracts and proceedings before federal, state and local government authorities, regulatory agencies and judicial courts, standing out for its strong track record in disputes involving highway concessions. Ricardo Pagliari Levy handles a mix of public procurement, concessions, PPPs and regulatory work in the ports, defence, sanitation, railways and highways segments. Marcello Alfredo Bernardes focuses on project development in the infrastructure space and disputes involving the public administration.

‘The firm is second to none in Brazil, both its partners and associates even the younger ones are unparalleled when it comes to academic merits and expertise in their respective fields. The firm has a practical approach backed with their in-depth legal acumen with a superb business perspective.’
‘Ricardo Levy and Elisa Gregori Rossetto provided me with an excellent and prompt service. I particularly value their practical approach and the complex message they were able to deliver both in a simple and effective manner. When the stakes are high, they are able to deliver.’
‘PN has a very strong public law practice. They are very knowledgeable, which is important in helping to guide clients through the somewhat convoluted and opaque Brazilian public tender process. They are extremely responsive and make every effort to smooth the way for clients. They are also very good at bringing in other practices--such as corporate and tax--to assist with matters and all parts of the firm seem to work very well together.'
