We offer our clients solid expertise in complex matters such as corporate governance and reorganization, financial restructuring, M&A, commercial contracts, capital markets (including in equity and debt transactions) and mining transactions. 


Our transactions are led by the Belo Horizonte’s partners and associates and our local structure enables the Belo Horizonte team to provide full corporate service (including corporate, contracts, capital markets, mining, regulatory, labour, tax, environmental) independently and closely to local clients and agencies, while still working fully integrated with the other Cescon Barrieu’s offices across Brazil and Canada.


We have the strongest domestic and cross-border commercial and corporate practice in the region, being the preferred firm in the region for complex corporate matters and landmark corporate and capital transactions. Our track record of innovative transactions speaks for itself.
