Adriano Drummond Cançado TrindadeMattos Filho

At Mattos Filho, the mining practice provides comprehensive advice to its corporate client roster, but is perhaps best known for its transactional capabilities, which see it act for major mining companies in M&A, corporate restructurings, project finance, capital markets deals as well as royalty and streaming deals. Regulatory and ESG-related mandates also feature in the team’s workload, which is further populated by policy-making and legislative matters. The highly recommended Adriano Drummond Cançado Trindade has a wealth of experience in the mining industry, advising on regulatory issues, contracts, projects and transactions. He is based in the Brasília office, and receives key support from São Paulo-based associate Eugênia Pedroso, who focuses on mining and energy transactional matters, including cross-border deals.
