Energy & Natural Resources: Oil & Gas

About

Provided by Veirano Advogados

Old friends are the best. Even before the Brazilian market opened to private investors, our team was already on the oil and gas scene. From advising on risk-sharing contracts in the 1970s to deep-water E&P projects, we help sector players get results.

Privatizations, sophisticated transactions, complex regulatory discussions and the evolving energy transition challenges are all within the team’s remit. In this sense, we advise and support companies involved in every link of the value chain:

• Upstream exploration and production
• Midstream transportation, shipping and logistics
• Downstream refining and distribution
• Service providers
  

We defend clients’ interests, facilitate deals and mitigate risks in different areas of law. Our multidisciplinary team of specialists has strong expertise in contractual, corporate, tax, labor and environmental issues in connection with the industry, offering a full range of services, advising on:

• Mergers, acquisitions and the purchase of interest in onshore and offshore concessions (farm-in/farm-out transactions)
• Project development, particularly in connection with oil and gas production, evacuation, transportation, and distribution infrastructure
• LNG importation, regasification and gas-to-power projects
• Petrobras’ procurement processes
• Tax regimes in Brazil, particularly the REPETRO customs regime for the export and import of goods used in the oil and gas sector
• Administrative and judicial proceeding
• Hiring employees and contractors and obtaining visas
