About

Provided by Machado Meyer

Our team has extensive experience in representing clients before the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE), including participation in complex domestic and international merger transactions. Our involvement often begins at the planning stage of transactions, which allows us to proactively identify and mitigate antitrust risks.

In the field of investigations into anti-competitive practices, we have a solid track record of successful defenses and representation in negotiations for leniency agreements, cease and desist agreements, and consent decrees or orders.

Our work also stands out in consulting on the development of business practices, in which we assess antitrust risks and help shape appropriate strategies to ensure regulatory compliance, maximize operational efficiency, and strengthen clients' competitiveness in their markets.
