Vieira Rezende

Described as being ‘extremely technical and qualified’, Vieira Rezende’s corporate and M&A team stands out for its experience in transactions involving foreign jurisdictions, regulated sectors, and publicly listed companies. Its broad service offering – which spans M&A, joint ventures, divestitures, exits, investments, and corporate restructuring – is a core element that continues to attract new clients from the financial services, energy, and logistics sectors, to name a few. Practice head Ricardo Ariani Filho is especially active in M&A and private equity deals involving education. Alberto Weyland Vieira is a key contact for cross-border transactions in the energy sector. The group also benefits from the aptitude of Helena Guimarães, a name to note for banks, investment funds and large corporates, Ricardo Villela Mafra Alves Da Silva, who often advises on foreign investments into Brazil, and Felipe Hanszmann. Former co-head Camila Borba Lefèvre left the firm in April 2026.
