Pinheiro Neto Advogados draws on a long-established history of working hand in hand with mining industry players, including the government, industry associations, financiers, and companies, to find solutions to complex transactions and pressing regulatory and environmental concerns. M&A, investment and debt transactions, and alternative methods of financing are traditional areas of strength, supplemented by an intimate understanding of crisis management, environmental permitting, and mining-related litigation. From his seat in the Federal District, ‘walking encyclopedia’ Carlos Vilhena stands at the intersection of mining law and government relations, advising clients on policy and regulatory frameworks, as well as corporate transactions and financing. In São Paulo, Roberta Stettinger Rossi Bilotti Demange dedicates her practice to mining and infrastructure projects, and is lauded for her ’incredible ability to make agreements and remove obstacles in favour of a greater result’. Senior associate and ‘star to watch’ Marina Bertucci Ferreira, also based in Brasilia, supports on regulatory affairs, mining policies, M&A, and financing.
