About

Tracing its origins back to 1965, Lojas Renner has grown into one of the largest retail operations in Brazil through its Renner, Camicado and YouCom stores. In total, it employs over 17,000 people and boasts highly competent officers in the upper echelons of its business hierarchy and the legal team is no exception. Legal support at the company is led by Carlos Barroso, who has been general counsel since the start of 2016. Barroso has previous experience of senior in-house legal work having been legal director at industrials company TUPY, and uses his immense experience to inform members of the executive management of Lojas Renner of legal considerations to strategic decisions. The Lojas Renner legal team has helped the company to achieve an important milestone recently; in September 2017 the company announced the opening of its first overseas store, a location in Montevideo. This achievement required the legal team to display its significant cross-border skills, and is an example of its effect empowering the company to take its operations to new markets.
