At Pinheiro Neto Advogados, the competition group ‘not only has full command of local legal matters, be it legislation or the latest regulatory provisions in the area, but also manages to bring an accurate analysis of the topic on a global scale’. The team, which is ‘effective at bridging language and cultural barriers’, is well placed to assist with the merger clearance of both significant domestic and cross-border transactions, but particularly shines in anti-competitive conduct matters in the administrative and judicial spheres. The latter is, in fact, a key area of growth for the department, which has increasingly been engaged in judicial litigation concerning high-profile claims, including class actions, seeking to recover damages for cartel practices. A leading figure in the competition law space, Cristianne Zarzur has a wealth of experience in merger filings, behavioural matters and compliance issues. José Alexandre Buaiz Neto excels in multijurisdictional leniency agreements and antitrust litigation before Brazilian courts. Anti-competitive investigations and merger control are core areas of activity for Renê Medrado and Leonardo Rocha e Silva, the latter of whom has a strong track record in cartel investigations in the life sciences, healthcare and transport sectors. Daniel Costa Rebello is a name to note for leniency and settlement agreements with CADE.
