The shipping and transport team at Castro Barros Advogados is widely recognised for its strong capabilities in litigation. The practice is jointly led by Olympio Carvalho and Camilla Werneck, both of whom bring complementary strengths to the group. Carvalho has broad expertise across shipbuilding, cargo claims, marine casualties, ship arrest, charterparty disputes, and marine insurance, making him a key player in both contentious and transactional matters. Werneck, meanwhile, focuses on the contentious aspects of the practice, with deep experience in complex shipping disputes and advising foreign shipowners on market entry and regulatory setup in Brazil. Ana Luiza Rizzo Cardoso adds valuable expertise in oil and gas-related shipping matters. In April 2025, the practice expanded its bench with the arrival of Erika Feitosa Chaves, who joined from Vieira Rezende.
