Tauil & Chequer Advogados

Tauil & Chequer Advogados' public law practice supports private sector clients in their interactions with federal, state, and local government authorities, regularly advising on concession agreements, bid procedures, and PPPs in sectors such as transport, energy, public lighting, sanitation, and waste management. The group has a strong track record in significant privatisations in the energy, water, and sewage segments, and also assists with litigation involving the financial rebalance of public contracts, sanctions imposed by public entities and administrative improbity claims, among others. Practice co-head Bruno Werneck regularly advises on concessions, PPPs, and regulatory matters, while fellow co-lead Juliana Deguirmendjian, who was promoted to partner in early 2024, is especially active in water and sewage concession projects and privatisations. Julio Barboza offers key support in both non-contentious and contentious matters involving public services and infrastructure projects.
