With particular experience in merger control proceedings, the competition and antitrust practice at Tauil & Chequer Advogados has amassed extensive experience representing clients from key industrial segments, including agribusiness, oil and gas, and construction, before CADE. Victor Galante heads up the department in Rio while Christian Roschmann and Isabella Giorgi co-lead the group in São Paulo. Giorgi, who was promoted to counsel in August 2024, stands out in particular for her breadth of practice, which encompasses merger filings, cartel and abuse of dominance investigations, and the implementation of regulatory compliance programmes. Former co-heads Francisco Todorov, Adriana Giannini and Lorena Nisiyama are no longer at the firm.
