About

Flavio Valle is described by one nominator as ‘having managed to train and maintain a top-notch legal department in the face of the broad economic and political crises that have been affecting Brazil in the past years’. Valle, who leads a team of 10 at Prumo Logisitica, a private Brazilian company engaged in infrastructure and logistics, has aided in revolutionising the legal department in his role as general counsel. Via extensive training and the recruitment of professionals with excellent legal knowledge, Valle has ensured that the legal department produces an enhanced quality of work at a faster pace. The legal function has drawn particular notice for its meticulous approach to delivering clear and concise legal answers whilst maintaining equanimity in the face of business challenges. Valle has earned an exemplary reputation and impressed both peers and clients alike with his ability to navigate major deals; most notably the negotiation of seven relevant commercial contracts including NOV, Technip, Wartsilla, Edison Chouest, BP and Shell, the active participation in an over $7bn M&A transaction with mining giant Anglo American and the $1bn rights offering by means of which EIG (Energy Global Partners) purchased a 75% stake in Prumo. Additionally, Valle played an integral role in the reduction of exposure to arbitration claims from circa $500m to roughly $30m for former affiliated company MMX. As an individual who has been at the top of his trade for almost a decade, Valle elucidates that ‘it is simply thrilling to, for over seven years, remain as an executive of a mammoth company such as Prumo’.
