Lawyer Rankings

Brazil > Dispute Resolution: Arbitration

A recognised market leader, Mattos Filho houses an ‘extremely specialised‘ team, which ‘offers excellent services‘ to a stellar roster of clients operating in a variety of industries, such as infrastructure, energy, telecoms, and oil and gas. High-stakes arbitration arising from M&A, corporate and shareholder disputes as well construction contracts and concession agreements are core strengths for the group, which is adept in cases seated in Brazil and abroad, most notably in the US, Germany and France. Rated for his ‘deep knowledge of arbitration‘, the well-regarded Eduardo Damião Gonçalves manages a high-profile caseload, where post-M&A and corporate conflicts feature alongside disputes in the IT, construction and infrastructure spaces. Flávio Spaccaquerche Barbosa is a name to note for proceedings involving the oil and gas, and construction sectors, while Arthur Gonzalez Cronenberger Parente is routinely turned to by shareholders, boards of directors and executives in relation to corporate governance disputes. André Chateaubriand Martins; João Vicente Pereira de Assis, who stands out for his experience in cross-border cases; and senior associate Mirelle Bittencourt Lotufo are other noteworthy practitioners.
