Garbois + Melo Advogados

Garbois + Melo Advogados is highly regarded for its maritime expertise, attracting a diverse client base that includes shipowners, offshore service providers, port terminals, international traders, insurers, and oil and gas companies. The practice is co-led by Breno Garbois and Flavia Melo, both of whom bring distinct strengths to the team. Garbois is widely recognised for his work advising shipowners and offshore service providers on charterparty disputes, while Melo has built a strong track record handling complex matters arising from marine incidents and casualties. The team’s capabilities were further enhanced by the arrival of César Chrisóstomo, who joined in July 2024 from Escritório Jurídico Carbone. He is noted for his experience in high-stakes cases involving collisions, groundings, shipwrecks, explosions, and fires.
