Other noteworthy practitioners include Oswaldo Dalla Torre, who focuses on corporate governance, contracts and M&A in an array of industries, including technology, mining, energy and agribusiness, and Silvia Castro Cunha Zono, who is especially active in the agribusiness sector. Victor Frias Françoso stands out at the associate level for his involvement in the practice. Former co-head João Busin is no longer at the firm.
