Regarded by clients as ‘one of the best firms nationally’ for data protection matters, Mattos Filho advises on the entire spectrum of privacy and cybersecurity issues. The firm has established itself as an authority in this field through its work in the development and implementation of sophisticated data compliance programmes and extensive experience in data incidents. A go-to choice for clients from the IT sector, the practice also acts for companies from the worlds of healthcare, insurance, financial services, retail and telecoms (among others) in negotiations with public authorities, risk assessments and litigation. The ‘highly technical and qualified’ Fabio Ferreira Kujawski focuses on transactional, regulatory and contractual matters in the tech space, while Paulo Brancher ‘stands out for his extensive experience in IP’, tech and telecoms. Thiago Luís Sombra is particularly skilled in anti-corruption, data protection and digital platform investigations, and often represents clients in contentious matters before the courts. Luiz Felipe Di Sessa, who joined in March 2022 from Cescon Barrieu, brought a wealth of experience in personal data protection and data processing compliance. Isabela Fernandes stands out at the associate level.
