About

Valeo is a global automotive parts company with a major presence in Brazil centred on its multiple major plants in the country. It has a €16.5bn-revenue and a particularly notable production line in providing headlights to major automobile manufacturers, including Renault, Volkswagem, Fiat, Peugeot and Mitsubishi. Negotiating with these high-profile names in the automotive industry, and providing all other relevant legal support to the company’s activities, provides the Valeo legal team in Brazil with much to take charge of, and gives it ample opportunity to showcase its excellent abilities. The team is led by Paula Scandiuzzi Bichuete, deputy general counsel South America who has been with the company for over five years. She has proven her worth in senior in-house legal roles previously, as she was head of legal for major entertainment company T4F – Time For Fun, and her experience at the top level of corporate life make her an ideal person to lead Valeo’s legal response to emerging challenges.
