Tauil & Chequer Advogados fields ‘a cohesive, integrated team’ that combines a rich understanding of environmental law, climate change, and ESG to advise clients on a diversity of interrelated issues, from licensing, protected areas, liability, water resources, and contaminated areas, to climate litigation, carbon pricing and carbon markets, indigenous populations, human rights, and biodiversity. Climate change-related mandates sit increasingly at the forefront of the practice’s workload, with members frequently retained to assist large corporations with self-imposed greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and net zero strategies, as well as carbon credit project developers with structuring and risk management. The ’combative, determined, and dedicated’ Luiz Gustavo Bezerra takes the helm in Rio de Janeiro, and is relied upon by infrastructure, energy, mining, real estate, and agribusiness clients for sophisticated environmental litigation, complex licensing matters, and negotiations with governmental authorities and public prosecutors. Counsel Gedham Gomes is a familiar name for the energy, infrastructure, and agribusiness sectors, with expansive knowledge of licensing, contaminated areas, climate change, and carbon markets. In São Paulo, associate Victor Trevizan supports chemical, mining, agribusiness, real estate, infrastructure, and energy companies in litigation and crisis management.
