Brazil > TMT: Telecoms

A group of telecoms specialists from Mundie e Advogados moved to Veirano Advogados in January 2023, bringing a wealth of experience in the full spectrum of telecoms matters, and an impressive client roster comprised of major telecoms companies and clients active in the satellite, mobile, multimedia, financial services and network infrastructure segments. The ‘highly experienced team‘ provides ‘top-notch‘ advice on complex regulatory issues, including proceedings before the National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL), litigation and transactions, benefitting from strong links to the firm’s corporate practice. Elinor Cotait, a reference in the market for regulatory issues pertaining to the telecoms sector, and Ana Claudia Beppu, who possesses over two decades’ experience in telecoms, media and technology mandates, joined in early 2023, and now jointly oversee the department with Robson Barreto, Alberto Bragança, a key name for transactional work, and Fábio Pereira. Beatriz Faustino França, who stands out for her experience in the satellite segment, and Francisco Sampaio, a practitioner to note for deals and regulatory issues involving the telecoms infrastructure industry, also joined the firm in 2023.

Brazil > TMT: Tech, innovation and digital business

Local and international clients from the IT sector turn to Veirano Advogados for advice on software agreements, IT outsourcing, and cloud computing. Drawing on the firm’s full-service structure, the group is well placed to assist with new business opportunities, commercial relations, IP, financings and product launches. Department head Fábio Pereira has in-depth knowledge of cloud computing services, outsourcing, data protection and tech transactions. The firm’s overall TMT offering was strengthened in December 2022 by the arrival of the former technology team from Mundie e Advogados; new joiners included Elinor Cotait, Ana Claudia Beppu, Beatriz Faustino França, Enrico Spini Romanielo, and Francisco Sampaio.
