The Mining Law Team of Azevedo Sette Advogados is widely recognized for its expertise in advising national and international mining companies in all matters concerning Brazilian Mining Law. Azevedo Sette has participated in several projects and transactions related to this sector in the past 50 years.


In Corporate and Mergers and Acquisitions matters, we have been involved in the some of the most important deals in Brazil in recent years, advising buyers and sellers. Also, our team led several joint ventures and transactions involving Brazil’s antitrust regulator and other competition-related agencies.


Given the environmental constraints and the complex regulation of the mining sector, the exploration of natural resources is increasingly dependent on qualified legal advice. The firm is traditionally well-known by its ability to successfully analyse the legal aspects of potential and current mining projects and operations developed in Brazil, in order to evaluate the possible economical risks that might impact their respective investments.


Partners Leonardo Lamego, Ana Paula Terra, Fernando Azevedo Sette, Luis Miraglia, and Leonardo Farinha Goulart have over 20 years’ experience advising clients on complex cases, and senior associates Gabriela Salazar, Svetlana Miranda and Cynthia Cardoso are considered as true “associate watch” in the practice. The main clients are some of the largest international and national Mining companies operating in Brazil.
