Drawing on their previous experience at CADE, several team members are skilled at representing clients in merger filings and review proceedings, cartel and unilateral cases, damages claims before the courts, and, most notably, leniency and settlement agreements. A key destination for multijurisdictional mandates, including merger control and conduct work, the practice is under the leadership of Marcelo Calliari, who has a wealth of experience in leniency agreements and merger clearance. These are also among Guilherme Ribas‘s legal specialisms. Vivian Fraga is a strong performer in complex domestic and cross-border merger reviews and antitrust litigation.
