Brazil > Projects and infrastructure
Bringing together ‘decades of experience‘ in project finance, corporate deals, administrative law and regulatory issues, Machado Meyer Sendacz e Opice Advogados is one of the first ports of call for the most ‘innovative and challenging‘ transactions and projects in the transport, sanitation, oil and gas, power and social infrastructure sectors. Led by the highly regarded José Virgilio Lopes Enei, the team ‘provides high-quality services‘ to a varied client roster of clients that recurrently seek advice on project finance and development, public-private partnerships (PPPs), M&A in regulated sectors and government concessions. Mauro Bardawil Penteado, who stands out for his strong transactional background, is often retained by financial institutions, private equity funds and companies in mandates involving concessions, privatisations and the structuring of PPPs. With extensive experience in the transport, mining and logistics segments, Adriano Schnur is a key contact for financing deals, while José Ribeiro do Prado Júnior is active in M&A involving regulated assets and industries, regulatory law and project finance. The ‘excellent‘ Alberto Faro showcases in-depth knowledge of construction and financing matters. The latter is also an area of expertise for Raphael Zono, who has advised on numerous debentures issuances, and Bruno Racy, a name to note for multilateral and export credit agencies, investment funds and borrowers.
