About

Global software company Adobe has some of its most impressive global in-house legal operators based in Brazil. In particular, regional manager for the Latin America piracy conversion team Rodrigo Leme Freitas came in for particular praise by nominators. Freitas is responsible for the coordination of all of Adobe’s intellectual property actions in Latin America, a highly important area for a company that succeeds or fails on the back of protecting its product range. A nominating source had this praise for Freitas: ‘With large experience in anti-piracy matters and software licence agreements, Freitas combines the skills of a litigator with the abilities of a negotiator. He is one of the top experts regarding software protection in Brazil, and as vice chairman of the Business Software Alliance, he is deeply involved in the developing of strategies to reduce the software piracy in the region’. Alongside him, Adobe can also draw on the talent of legal counsel Ana Carolina D’Atri within its in-house ranks. Formerly a senior associate at a number of well-respected Brazilian private practice firms, D’Atri provides excellent additional legal firepower to help face all legal and compliance challenges facing Adobe in Brazil and across Latin America.
