Synonymous with energy regulatory expertise, boutique firm Julião Coelho Advocacia is a key port of call for players from across the energy sphere engaged in complex regulatory cases before the superior courts.

Founding partner Julião Silveira Coelho is lauded for his ’differentiated legal and regulatory knowledge about the sector’ and presence in prominent litigation matters. He leads the Brasília practice alongside managing partner Camila Alves Angoti de Moraes, whose ‘ease of dialogue and power of persuasion with the operating bodies’ has proved invaluable in ground-breaking cases relating to new technologies in solar and storage energy, and head of litigation Pedro Henrique Maciel Fonseca, recommended for his ’in-depth knowledge of procedural aspects in both administrative and judicial aspects’. Civil procedure and constitutional law expert Guilherme Leite Chamum Aguiar and administrative and judicial litigation specialist Marcos Serejo de Paula Pessoa round out the team.
