Praised for its ‘technical knowledge and proximity to the client’s business’, Lefosse Advogados has recently worked on many of the largest M&A deals in Brazil, and stands out for its credentials in transactions involving listed companies. Highlights from the past year have included high-value acquisitions, sales, joint ventures, and private equity investments – both domestic and cross-border – in the energy, cosmetics, healthcare, food, and financial services sectors. Leading the practice is Luiz Octavio Lopes, a key contact for some of the largest companies listed on the Brazilian Stock Exchange. Other noteworthy individuals include managing partner Rodrigo Junqueira and André Calumby, the latter of whom regularly acts for private and public companies, PE and VC funds in a wide range of transactions. Carlos Mello left the firm in April 2025.
