With experience in both domestic and cross-border competition matters, Veirano Advogados assists in merger reviews, cartel investigations, antitrust compliance and general counselling matters. In December 2022, the firm’s capabilities in merger control and investigations into anti-competitive practices were reinforced by the arrival of Mundie e Advogados‘ former antitrust and regulation team, including co-head Enrico Spini Romanielo and 15 other practitioners. Romanielo, who offers support to clients from regulated industries, such as telecoms, payment services, and technology, is now at the forefront of the team alongside Leonardo Maniglia Duarte, a key contact in Brasília for merger control and conduct cases, including the negotiation of leniency agreements and settlements with CADE. With a strong track record in international cartel investigations, Alberto Monteiro is proficient in compliance issues. Associates Fernando Stival and Ana Luiza Arruda also joined from Mundie e Advogados in late 2022.
