Praised for its ‘creativity’ and ability to ‘add value’, Demarest Advogados‘ fields a team with ‘in-depth knowledge of the capital markets area and related legislation‘. Led by Thiago Giantomassi, the group shines in complex, first-of-a-kind debt and equity products, where it regularly acts for major banks, investment funds, and debt issuers. The group is present in an array of key industries, most notably agribusiness and energy, advising on a broad range of matters, from tokenised securities trading to high-profile US listings. Asset-backed securitisations and investment funds-related matters are other key strengths for the department.
