Débora Yanasse  –Tauil & Chequer Advogados

A top choice for guidance throughout the life cycle of a power project, Tauil & Chequer Advogados acts for a wide range of clients active in all segments of the industry, including generation, transmission and distribution companies, traders, large consumers and service providers. With solid credentials in both transactional and contentious matters, the firm has had a prominent role in the structuring of the privatisation of Eletrobras, Latin America’s biggest power utility company, through its engagement by the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES). The group has recently expanded its presence in the M&A space, where it has increasingly advised on deals involving renewable and conventional power generation and transmission assets. Self-production projects are another area of growth for the team, which has been retained by developers and large consumers alike. Domestic and international clients turn to Rio de Janeiro-based partner Débora Yanasse for her ‘deep knowledge of the sector‘ and strong track record in projects, M&A, auctions and regulatory issues. Bruno Salzano, whose cross-border M&A expertise is noteworthy, and Bruno Werneck are key individuals in São Paulo. In the same office, associate Julia Braga handles both transactional work and administrative proceedings, while Bruno Ribeiro in Rio focuses on infrastructure and energy projects.
