Amira Chammas
Legal and compliance director | Tegma Gestão Logística
What are the most significant cases or transactions that your legal team has recently been involved in?
We have been involved in several M&A matters, culminating in a strategic acquisition in 2025 aimed at entering new markets through innovative technology.
What strategies has your legal team adopted to manage disputes and mitigate risks in Brazil’s dynamic business environment?
The legal team has established a multidisciplinary group of lawyers to address matters in a holistic manner, covering all risks involved in ongoing negotiations. This approach helps to avoid gaps in legal analysis while also reducing the time spent discussing issues, thereby improving efficiency both within the team and across the organisation as a whole.
How have economic fluctuations, exchange‑rate volatility or supply‑chain pressures in 2026 influenced your legal priorities?
Global economic instability has a direct impact on the company’s sector of activity, particularly in relation to the current oil crisis and the anticipated semiconductor shortage. Vehicle transportation is the company’s core business, and fluctuations in these economic indicators create market instability and uncertainty.
