Pinheiro Neto Advogados

Pinheiro Neto Advogados has significantly bolstered its TMT capabilities with the arrival of Tomás Filipe Schoeller Paiva, a leading telecoms expert, who joined the firm as a partner in May 2025 from Demarest Advogados. Based in São Paulo, Paiva brings over 18 years of experience advising major Brazilian and international clients across the telecoms, media, and technology sectors, with a practice spanning infrastructure, public law, and constitutional matters. His arrival marks a strategic move for the firm, expanding its telecoms practice, which is active across broadband, satellite, pay TV, submarine cable, and streaming services. The team is now well placed to handle regulatory, commercial, and administrative matters. Counsel Vitor Amorim Mendonça Alves, another name to note for new technologies, media and telecoms work, and Mauricio Carotenuto, who is experienced in proceedings before ANATEL, joined alongside Paiva.
