Bernardo Carneiro > Lefosse Advogados > Sao Paulo, Brazil > Lawyer Profile

Lefosse Advogados has invested heavily in its restructuring and insolvency practice over the past year with several high-profile partner recruits. These included former Cescon Barrieu practice head Fábio Rosas and partner José Luis de Rosa, who are ‘both very experienced’ in acting for financial institutions, creditors, lenders, and investors in restructurings, judicial and extrajudicial reorganisations and distressed transactions. Bernardo Carneiro, who joined from Chamon Santana Sociedade de Advogados in late 2022, brings a wealth of experience in distressed M&A, DIP lending and credit recovery. They add to an already strong team with proficiency in both contentious and non-contentious matters, particularly for banking clients. Practice head Roberto Zarour possesses expertise in debt restructuring, capital markets and securitisation matters, while Raphael Nehin Corrêa is the name to note for restructuring and insolvency-related litigation.
