About

Provided by Tauil & Chequer Advogados in association with Mayer Brown

Tauil & Chequer Advogados in association with Mayer Brown is one of the leading energy firms in Brazil with a long-standing presence and a particular reputation in the oil and gas markets.  In the late 1990’s, the lawyers at T&C were responsible for drafting the Petroleum Law, the Brazilian Concession Agreement model form and the Government Take Decree.

Since then we have represented both national and international oil and gas companies in Brazil and elsewhere in connection with a wide variety of legal matters, including their investments in Brazil, M&A and farm in/farm out transactions, project development as well as tax, regulatory, labor and litigation matters.  We represent clients with operations around the world, including Africa. 

For years we have advised major participants in the energy sector across the entire spectrum of their operations and have acted as counsel of choice with regard to significant transactions and litigation matters. Our Energy practice includes attorneys from the key disciplines of finance, corporate, securities, tax, environment, trade and energy regulation and dispute resolution.

Through our association with Mayer Brown, we draw together talent from our offices around the world, including the principal energy and energy finance centers of London, New York, Houston, Hong Kong, Beijing, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
