About

Cetip is one of the biggest companies within Brazil’s financial system, and despite a relatively rocky period for the sector in the country, Reinaldo Morais Filho continues to prove his worth as an excellent leader with a high level of operational expertise. In his current role as legal, compliance and institutional relations executive officer, Filho has responsibility for all matters that affect Cetip’s day-to-day business over these three intertwined functions. One private practice source illustrates the strength of his strategic thinking, claiming that Filho and his team have ‘spared Cetip hundreds of millions of US dollars through their work’. This strength is also acknowledged within Cetip’s business, who recognise the importance of a legal voice and Filho’s own know-how, as he takes a role on Cetip’s board of officers who guide and implement company strategy. Able to prove his worth to the business in objective terms, a source explains how his considered approach recently paid off in a case of extremely high-value: ‘Filho has been very helpful and cooperative in defining the models and strategies of a multi-case litigation involving values in excess of $500m’. Before taking his current role, Filho held legal director roles at GRV Solutions and then Sascar Tecnologia e Segurança Automotiva. He was also previously a partner at Meirelles Rosa Advogados.
