- ‘Bianca Bilton Signorini Antacli is a highly respected attorney and partner in the firm’s environmental practice. She has extensive experience in several areas of environmental law, including due diligence in M&A transactions, environmental risk management, judicial and administrative proceedings, and environmental licensing. Among her qualities, I highlight her technical expertise; Bianca has a deep knowledge of environmental issues, including biodiversity, licensing and litigation. She is recognised for her ability to provide strategic advice on projects of great environmental sensitivity. Her leadership and collaboration should also be noted; she is an active member of several important organisations, which is undoubtedly a differentiator, as she constantly shares updates with the client.’
- ‘What sets TozziniFreire Advogados apart in the national legal market is its ability to innovate and adapt to the needs of its clients. Its commitment to inclusion and diversity, promoting a work environment that values different perspectives and experiences, is worth highlighting; so is its collaborative work culture, encouraging the exchange of knowledge and cooperation among team members to achieve the best results. These characteristics not only improve the quality of the service provided but also reinforce the partnership with the client and the confidence that the service will be performed in an assertive, pragmatic and creative manner.’
