Demarest Advogados

Following the integration of William Freire Advogados in February 2026, Demarest Advogados now has a Belo Horizonte-based tax department, noted for its deep expertise in the mining, steelmaking, agribusiness, and energy sectors, where it provides representation in administrative and judicial litigation, including cases before CARF and matters involving mining royalties. The practice is also active in tax planning and structuring for M&A transactions. At the helm of the department is Paulo Honorio De Castro, who shines in tax planning and transactional matters.
