The corporate practice is known as a leading team in Brazil, having wide experience in M&A transactions, joint ventures, corporate restructuring, private equities, purchase and sale of assets, tender offers and other capital market issues and shareholder disputes.

Lobo & de Rizzo’s competition law practice is headed by a leading attorney in this field and is fully prepared to advise clients on antitrust law, which increasingly encroaches on the most critical aspects of corporate and commercial strategy. The scope of this practice covers merger control cases before the Brazilian competition agencies, proceedings concerning infringements to the Brazilian competition law, preventive advice and compliance programmes and industry-specific regulation.

The litigation lawyers combine the skills of general litigators, able to take on any case, with significant experience in complex commercial disputes with specific focus on shareholder disputes, product liability issues, tort claims, bankruptcy and restructuring proceedings, intellectual property and environmental law.

The firm’s tax team provides advice on direct and indirect taxes on corporate and commercial transactions and tax litigation both at the administrative and at the judicial levels.
