Full-service powerhouse Pinheiro Neto Advogados demonstrates versatility across the spectrum of power matters, spanning transactions, financing, litigation, and administrative proceedings before ANEEL and CCEE, often acting for local and international corporations and investors in the generation, distribution, and transmission segments, as well as power trading companies. The team’s recent emphasis on the power transition towards green hydrogen follows ‘a long tradition and reputation’ in regulatory matters. Practitioners routinely advise on high-profile privatisations, public tenders, divestiture programmes, distributed generation and self-production projects. Seasoned energy specialist José Roberto Oliva Júnior, based in São Paulo, is a reference for energy regulatory issues, project finance, and M&A transactions, with expertise in both traditional and renewable sources – including wind, solar, biomass, and hydropower. Senior associate José Carlos Altomari Teixeira in Rio de Janeiro channels his regulatory credentials into the implementation of self-production by equivalence structures.
