Under the modernized framework of CVM Resolution 175, these vehicles now finance receivables, consumer and corporate credit, agribusiness and distressed assets at scale. This panel examines the structural drivers of this growth, the interplay among funds, originators and traditional lenders, and the legal issues arising in structuring and enforcement of credit rights.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>Filipe Starzynski, head of litigation and credit, Darmont Advogados<\/li>\n<li>Ihury Bastos Pereira Darmont, head of regulatory and investment funds, Darmont Advogados<\/li>\n<li>Jo\u00e3o Pedro Nascimento, former president of the Brazilian exchange and securities comission, CVM<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>10.50am-11.35am<\/strong> <strong>Competition &amp; antitrust <span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">\u00a0<\/span>&#8211; in partnership with Del Chiaro Pereira Advogados<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Competition law is no longer confined to merger reviews.

The investigation process, the regulatory response, and the decisions made in the first hours and days are not just procedural, they are career-defining. This session examines what that reality looks like from the inside, and what it demands of the GC who is in the room when it happens.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>Pedro Ivo Gricoli Ioko, founding partner and managing partner, Iokoi, Paiva, Jonasson e Scalzaretto Advogados<\/li>\n<li>Gustavo Jonasson de Conti Medeiros, partner, Iokoi, Paiva, Jonasson e Scalzaretto Advogados<\/li>\n<li>Rafael Tardocchi, legal director &#8211; corporate, compliance &amp; legal operations, Bayer<\/li>\n<li>Tatiana Malamud, chief legal and compliance officer, Stone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>1.30pm-2.30pm Networking lunch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2.30pm-3.20pm The GC disputes lab: s<\/strong><strong>ettle, fight, or walk away<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ewa-rteLine\">Every dispute lands the same question on a GCs desk. Settle, fight, or walk away sounds simple until you are holding the legal merit in one hand, the commercial relationship in the other, the board\u2019s risk appetite somewhere in the room, and a Brazilian judiciary timeline that turns a three-year dispute into a ten-year one. This is not a panel about dispute resolution theory. In this live, interactive Disputes Lab, delegates will work through realistic scenarios, make decisions under pressure, and hear how experienced GCs navigated the same dilemmas and the lessons they took from the outcome.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Pre-registration required<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Roundtable Sessions (3 parallel sessions)<\/strong><\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"ewa-rteLine\"><strong>ROUNDTABLE 1 &#8211; <span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">FTO Designations, Sanctions and Managing Exposure to PCC and CV<\/span><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">\u00a0&#8211; in partnership with Diaz Reus International Law Firm<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">In May 2026, the U.S. designated Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) and Comando Vermelho (CV) as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) and Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs), with the FTO designations taking effect on 5 June. The designations increase sanctions and enforcement risks, including potential material-support liability under 18 U.S.C. \u00a7 2339B, in certain circumstances involving conduct outside the United States. With neither group classified as a terrorist organization under Brazilian law, how should companies operating in Brazil navigate this regulatory divergence? This roundtable will examine the practical implications for OFAC screening, AML controls, counterparty due diligence, transaction monitoring and risk assessments, including how businesses can identify potential exposure and strengthen controls in response to the new U.S. designations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ewa-rteLine\"><strong>*Pre-registration required<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>Pedro Fragoso Pires, foreign legal consultant, Diaz Reus International Law Firm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"ewa-rteLine\"><strong>ROUNDTABLE 2 &#8211; <span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">From experimentation to enterprise AI: How GCs are building governance that enables innovation &#8211; in partnership with Demarest Advogados<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">As AI moves from isolated pilots to enterprise-wide deployment, General Counsel are redefining governance to accelerate innovation while maintaining trust. This discussion explores how legal leaders are designing practical AI governance frameworks, aligning legal, technology and business teams, establishing oversight for high-impact AI use cases, and embedding accountability throughout the AI lifecycle.

The assumptions that have governed that relationship for decades, around cost, quality, confidentiality and accountability, are being tested simultaneously. This is the conversation about where it goes from here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ewa-rteLine\"><strong>*Pre-registration required<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>3.20pm-3.40pm Coffee break\/room change<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>3.40pm-4.25pm<\/strong> <strong style=\"font-size: 1rem\">Cross-border deals and regional risk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Deal-making across Latin America has never been more complex or more consequential. Regulatory divergence, shifting antitrust thresholds, political risk, and the pace of change in financial and digital markets are reshaping how transactions are structured, priced, and closed. For GCs navigating M&amp;A and commercial agreements across the region, the legal risk is embedded in the deal itself &#8211; in the assumptions made, the representations given, and the jurisdictions chosen. This conversation examines what it takes to get transactions done well when the rules are not the same on both sides of the border.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.25pm-4.55pm<\/strong> <strong>Closing fireside chat &#8211; crisis and reputation management<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every GC will eventually face the moment when risk becomes reality.
