Founded in 1981, Campos Mello is a full-service law firm recognized for its work in business and financial law. The firm is headquartered in Rio de Janeiro and has offices in Sao Paolo and Brasilia. In addition, the firm has desks in Miami, New York and London through its cooperation with DLA Piper. The firm is active in banking, capital markets, M&A, private equity, project finance and project development.

Highlights

In M&A, the firm's buyer side work included advising clients like Statkraft on significant cross-border acqusitions in the renewable energy sector. These acquisitions were subject to antitrust, CADE and other regulatory approval.

The firm’s M&A practice also worked alongside the capital markets team to advise the public company Maha Energy AB in its business combination with DBO 2.0. This was a complex transaction in the highly regulated oil and gas sector and required an “Extraordinary Genergal Meeting” for Maha to resolve necessary matters related to the merger.

Key clients

Statkraft, Eneva, GE Healthcare, Localiza, Globant, Barzan Holdings and the B3 are among the firm’s key clients.
