  • 'The advice provided by Dias Carneiro, particularly by Alexandre Leite, was excellent, marked by thoroughness, agility, and close client engagement. Throughout his work, Alexandre demonstrated not only solid technical knowledge in the area of project finance but also extensive practical experience gained through advising on various transactions in the sector - which proved crucial for the efficient handling of the deal. Moreover, the transaction required specialised knowledge across different areas such as offshore, energy, and litigation, and Alexandre skillfully addressed these matters directly while coordinating with his partners at the firm when necessary.'
