Equipped with professionals who ‘demonstrate remarkable technical capacity’, Lefosse Advogados is particularly skilled in the structuring of large-scale power ventures, distributed generation and self-production projects, and regulatory matters. The multidisciplinary team also handles privatisation processes, disputes, and administrative proceedings before ANEEL, advising both consumers and generators. Regulatory, transactions, and litigation specialist Raphael Gomes takes the helm in São Paulo, supporting on a range of generation, commercialisation, transmission, and distribution issues. Pedro Dante ’has all the technical knowledge ’in power purchase contracts, litigation, and arbitration, while Bruno Crispim’s CCEE background proves beneficial in regulatory consulting and litigation, as well as M&A and project development. Senior associate Renato Edelstein distinguishes himself in administrative matters related to privatisations, and the implementation of distributed energy projects.
