About

Provided by Pinheiro Neto Advogados

We have actively participated in the restructuring and modernization of the energy sector at every stage of this process. This has given us the necessary experience to deliver our clients effective and valuable advice, while offering swift and innovative solutions for highly specialized projects.

We have been at the forefront of major energy cases since the inclusion of government-owned energy companies in the National Privatization Program in the 1990’s, which paved the way for a competitive environment in 2000. 

The high level of expertise of our energy lawyers results from our multidisciplinary approach, where we bring together specialists from the environmental, litigation, corporate and tax areas to meet the most diverse needs of our clients in the energy industry. 

We also advise clients on transmission and energy auctions, mergers & acquisitions, corporate restructuring, project finance, construction, equipment supply agreements, operating and maintenance agreements, environmental, compliance and anticorruption issues, all specifically related to the energy sector.
