Brazil > Projects and infrastructure

Commended for its ‘dedication, involvement and availability‘, the infrastructure group at TozziniFreire Advogados attracts regular instructions from a variety of sponsors, multilateral agencies and investors. The firm, which is well placed to assist with public bids, financings and project development in the energy, water, waste, mobility and logistics sectors, has been particularly active in the purchase and disposal of infrastructure projects and companies. The team is under the joint leadership of two seasoned partners: Leonardo Miranda, who handles a mix of corporate, regulatory, financing and development work, and Jun Makuta, who heads up the Japan desk and routinely advises on transactions in the energy, chemical and infrastructure segments. Among the other names to note, Karin Yamauti Hatanaka specialises in project finance; Ana Carolina Katlauskas Calil has in-depth knowledge of power regulations; and Caio Loureiro – who joined from Cascione Pulino Boulos Advogados in March 2022 – focuses on government projects, including concessions and PPPs.
