Ms Cristina de Freitas Bueno > Trench Rossi Watanabe > Sao Paulo, Brazil > Lawyer Profile

With extensive experience in inbound and outbound investments, Trench Rossi Watanabe is particularly well placed to assist with multijurisdictional transactions, drawing on its association with Baker McKenzie LLP. Buyers and sellers, including public listed and private companies, from an array of sectors – most notably energy, life sciences, agribusiness, education, technology and insurance – regularly turn to the team for advice on M&A, private equity and venture capital deals. The team is jointly led by a capable trio: Rio-based Anna Mello is a go-to adviser for energy and infrastructure clients; Daniel Facó brings together expertise in corporate transactions and capital markets; and Mauricio Pacheco stands out for his strong track record in private equity deals. The team was strengthened in August 2024 with the additions of Cristina de Freitas Bueno and Vitor Stern from Cescon Barrieu.

Trench Rossi Watanabe, ‘a truly full-service firm where clients can count on multidisciplinary teams with knowledge and experience for the most diverse matters‘, is well placed to handle transactions, from early stage funding to investments and acquisitions, on behalf of start-ups, PE firms, VC funds, and investment banks. Comprised of experts from multiple practice areas, including corporate, M&A, tax and regulatory, the team is overseen by Monica Castro Pereira Cavalcanti, whose ‘extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of the industry‘ is noted by clients. M&A specialist Bruno Dreifus often advises on investments and acquisitions in this space. The team was strengthened in August 2024 by the addition of Cristina de Freitas Bueno, who was previously at Cescon Barrieu.
