IW Melcheds

IW Melcheds offers a comprehensive range of services spanning transactions, advisory work, and dispute resolution. Its practice covers M&A and private equity deals, corporate reorganisations, and commercial contracts. The team is especially experienced in advising clients from the telecoms, banking, and construction sectors, and recent client wins have broadened its reach into infrastructure, financial services, and energy. Practice co-head Rodrigo Mello has expertise handling both buy- and sell-side M&A, while Fernanda Passos focuses on day-to-day corporate issues. On the private equity front, fellow co-head Gustavo Taiar, who joined the firm from ASBZ Advogados in April 2024, is a key contact, whereas Jorge Gutiérrez Chamlati is sought after for his aptitude advising on pre- and post-transactional matters, including restructurings, integrations, and corporate governance.
