Brazilian firms target labour and disputes growth
Brazilian firm Mattos Engelberg Advogados has promoted a labour practitioner to partner, while Perlman Vidigal Godoy Advogados has hired a litigation and arbitration partner.
Mattos Engelberg promoted Marília Nascimento Minicucci, 34, on 17 October. She joined the firm when it opened in January. Her practice is focused on compensation plans, profit share programmes, collective bargaining and labour due diligence for compliance processes and M&A transactions. She has previously worked at Demarest Advogados, Machado, Meyer, Sendacz e Opice Advogados and Pinheiro Neto Advogados.
Minicucci is Mattos Engelberg’s latest partner appointment since it opened earlier this year. A spin-off from now-defunct firm Mattos Muriel Kestener, Mattos Engelberg hired several partners from Barretto Ferreira e Brancher (BKBG) – which has now been absorbed by Azevedo Sette Advogados. The firm now counts 15 partners, representing a 25% increase since it opened.
Meanwhile, another São Paulo firm, Perlman Vidigal Godoy Advogados, announced on 19 October it had hired litigation and arbitration lawyer Ricardo Zamariola Junior, 35. He was formerly name partner at tax, corporate and civil law firm Tranchesi Ortiz e Andrade Advocacia.
Zamariola’s practice is focused on civil litigation in corporate, contractual and family law. He gained experience working on the much-publicised Sean Goldman abduction case in the late 2000s, a cross-border custody battle in which Zamariola successfully litigated for a child’s return from Brazil to live with his father in the US.
In combination with its litigation and arbitration practice, Perlman Vidigal Godoy also has corporate, finance and tax practices. The firm now has five partners.
Tranchesi Ortiz partner Marcos Tranchesi Ortiz says Zamariola left on good terms. “Ricardo is a very skilled litigation lawyer who is able to handle highly complex cases,” he says.
