Demarest Advogados’s real estate team stands out for its expertise in the sale, purchase and leasing of rural and urban real estate assets, as well as for its strong capabilities in real estate finance and the real estate aspects of high-value M&A deals. The ‘excellent’ team has also recently advised on joint venture structuring, lease contracts and property regularisation matters. Marc Stalder, who focuses on transactional, development and property regularisation issues, oversees the practice with Lucas Tavares Bueno, a reference in the team for real estate, timberland and agribusiness investments, and real estate finance specialist Thiago Giantomassi. Also at the helm of the practice are Pablo Meira Queiroz, who joined from TozziniFreire in November 2024, and Robson de Oliveira, who was promoted to partner the following month.
