Increasing regulatory scrutiny, corporate investigations and the growing overlap between governance, compliance and criminal liability have significantly reshaped the legal challenges faced by companies and executives in Brazil.

Against this backdrop, Martinelli Advogados has strengthened its Corporate Crisis Management and White-Collar Defense capabilities with the addition of partner Mariana Kapor Drumond.

With more than 15 years of experience, Mariana advises domestic and international companies, executives and individuals in highly sensitive matters involving corporate investigations, regulatory enforcement, corporate fraud, financial crimes, environmental crimes, cybercrime and criminal compliance.

Her practice also encompasses crisis management, internal investigations, corporate integrity programs and personal data protection matters, reflecting the increasing convergence between compliance, regulatory exposure and reputational risk.

Mariana has extensive experience representing clients before regulatory and oversight authorities, including the Office of the Comptroller General (CGU), state comptroller agencies (CGEs), ANATEL, ANM and the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), particularly in matters related to Brazil’s Anti-Corruption Law.

Her arrival reflects a broader market trend marked by increasing demand for integrated legal support capable of addressing criminal, regulatory, institutional and reputational challenges simultaneously.

By strengthening these capabilities, Martinelli Advogados further enhances its ability to support clients facing complex investigations, crisis situations and regulatory enforcement matters in an increasingly demanding compliance environment.
