What are the most significant cases or transactions that your legal team has recently been involved in?

Over the past year, our legal team has led matters of significant complexity and strategic impact for the business, including major tax disputes involving issues related to the allocation and repatriation of profits abroad, the structuring of complex international transactions, and the management of regulatory matters.

We have also played a decisive role in managing material labour liabilities, with a focus on reducing financial exposure, safeguarding the company’s reputation, and supporting its growth agenda.

How is your organisation adapting to the rapid evolution of data protection, AI governance and cybersecurity requirements in Brazil?

We have made consistent progress in strengthening corporate governance across data protection, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity through the implementation of robust policies, continuous review of internal controls, contractual adjustments, third-party management, and structured protocols for incident prevention and response.

Alignment with LGPD requirements and global best practices is treated as a strategic priority.

What strategies has your legal team adopted to manage disputes and mitigate risks in Brazil’s dynamic business environment?

Our approach is grounded in a preventive, business-oriented model, with strong integration between the legal function and operational teams.

We rely on performance-based management, prioritisation of key risks, efficient dispute resolution strategies, and process standardisation to ensure predictability, mitigate contingencies, and provide reliable support for the company’s strategic decision-making.
