Compliance Tier 1
Demarest Advogados strengthened its compliance practice considerably with the December-2019 hire of Eloy Rizzo from KLA Advogados; Rizzo 'always puts the client as a priority, facing the project challenges and solving the problems in a smart and kind way'. He joined Carlo Verona, who has strong experience in investigations involving issues related to the FCPA, UK Bribery Act and international enforcement. On the preventive side, the team advises on compliance programmes, training and integrity due diligence. The team also draws as required on the input and expertise of white-collar criminal law expert Fabyola En Rodrigues and competition specialist Bruno Drago.

Testimonials
‘Demarest has the whole package. The compliance team delivers the same high-quality results for both internal investigation and consultancy works (third party due diligence and compliance risk analysis). The team is always available and I truly feel my company needs are a priority even though the firm has so many other clients.‘
‘Demarest has a very committed, qualified and experienced team providing compliance services. I’ve been working along its team for five years and in my perspective they are some steps ahead in comparison with other law firms in terms of offering customised solutions to the clients.’
‘The team is always available, including alternative hours and private cell phones. It is a senior team, with an excellent knowledge of compliance matters, they also understand the company’s daily routine, so it is not pro forma knowledge. They stick to what is really necessary.‘
‘Eloy is excellent. He knows Brazilian, EUA and Europe laws. He understand the reality here in Brazil and pushes when its needed. He is objective and always available, I have had may cases conducted by him and he is the first lawyer that I think when I have an issue or need some advice.’
‘Eloy has a great balanced view of compliance risks and understands the business reality of taking risks. Victoria delivers 100% and I would like to have her for every complex internal investigation. André is attentive and detailed when performing compliance risk analyses.‘
‘My experience is with Eloy Rizzo and his team, who joined Demarest last year. I think highly of Eloy, and I believe Demarest has significantly upgraded its practice by adding Eloy Rizzo.‘
‘I think one of the things that makes Eloy Rizzo stand out is his ability to work as part of a team. Most of my matters are cross border, and as a result require multiple law firms in multiple countries. Those arrangements can be very difficult. But not with Eloy. He gives great advice, and is a great teammate.’
‘Eloy Rizzo, head of the compliance team has been in charge of many complex projects and his experience makes the difference in all of them. Besides that Eloy has many leadership skills which makes our collaboration in working very effective and transparent. Eloy always put the client as a priority, facing the project challenges and solving the problems in a smart and kind way.‘

FIRM OVERVIEW:
Founded in 1948, Demarest is one of the most renowned law firms in Brazil and ranks among the largest firms in Latin America. Throughout its history, providing services in the most diverse practice areas of law, Demarest has always maintained a commitment to providing legal services of the highest standards of quality and excellence.

EXCELLENCE:
Demarest is one of the leading full-service corporate law firms in Brazil, with more than 70 years of experience in assisting clients from all over the world. The firm is constantly ranked as one of the most prestigious Brazilian transactional law firms considering the number of transactions carried out and value of deals. Clients recognise Demarest’s lawyers as trusted advisors. The quality of the firm’s performance can be attributed to how matters are approached strategically, and the lengths to which teams prepare before even the first action is taken. The firm’s division into ‘work cells’ enables lawyers to become deeply familiar with the cases and the clients that they are involved with, resulting in a service that is of international quality yet provided with a personal approach.
CITIZENSHIP:
For Demarest, there is a strong belief that it is everyone’s duty to contribute and work towards creating a more equal and compassionate society. As a result, the firm has established partnerships with organisations committed to realising these values and promoting the foundations for well-being, education and social inclusiveness. Demarest is involved in projects that aim to strengthen the relationship of the firm with local communities.
By means of partnerships with ‘Instituto Pro Bono’ and the Lex Mundi Pro Bono Foundation, Demarest provides legal advice to non-governmental and non-profit organisations. The firm also contributes to research carried out by renowned institutions regarding pro bono work in Brazil, including TrustLaw Index of Pro Bono and Latin Lawyer Pro Bono Survey. Demarest prides itself on adhering to a strong and active Diversity and Inclusiveness programme, and firmly believes that this forms an essential part of the Demarest approach that enables sustainable and cost-effective business, which in turn contributes directly to the socioeconomic development at local and global levels. The firm therefore promotes a pluralistic work environment that is non-discriminatory, respectful, welcoming, innovation-driven, and that ultimately contributes to achieving business results.
