About

Provided by Pinheiro Neto Advogados

Always committed to adding value to our clients, we strive for delivering distinctive legal solutions for the most complex challenges in the oil, natural gas, and biofuel area. We are thoroughly familiar with the industry laws and regulations, including those of the Brazilian Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Biofuels Agency (ANP).

With ANP regulating more than 50 activities and thousands of regulated players, we are ready to contribute in the most diverse ways – for example, by assisting in administrative proceedings for obtaining authorizations and in the participation in bidding rounds. 

Our work also covers regulatory issues involving exploration, development, production, refining, distribution, trading, import and export of oil, natural gas, and biofuels.

We advise clients in the most relevant industry’s acquisition and project finance transactions, having actively cooperated for the development of the sector and contributed to the new oil, natural gas, and biofuels regulations. 

The firm is ready to assist clients engaged in all stages of the production chain – operators of exploration and production fields, biofuels producers, processors, transporters, refiners, distributors, and resellers, including their contractors and vendors –, as well as national and international banks, financial institutions and others that invest in this sector.
