With a long involvement in supporting the structuring and modeling of projects with the public sector, we assist clients in public tenders, concessions, and public-private partnerships, providing advice on all aspects of administrative and regulatory law.


Our biggest difference is our capacity to assist our clients from the design and modeling of the project, its bidding process, and throughout the implementation, management, including the financing, negotiation and drafting of construction contracts, operation and maintenance, off-take agreements, corporate arrangements, shareholders' agreements, joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions.


We have a versatile team, specializing in the relationship with regulatory agencies and qualified to meet all the demands of the companies in their new projects, which also involve tax, environmental, labor, and administrative litigation issues.
