Brazilian firm Mattos Engelberg Advogados has strengthened its competition department with a lateral hire from\u00a0Motta Fernandes Advogados.<\/p>\n

Cecilia Vidigal Monteiro de Barros, 59, joined the firm on 16 September. She takes the firm\u2019s partner count to 26.<\/p>\n

She focuses her practice on mergers and acquisitions, infrastructure projects and public procurement. She also has an energy practice.<\/p>\n

Barros is chair of the regulatory committee of the Brazilian Institute of Energy Law and co-vice chair of the international construction projects committee of the International Bar Association.<\/p>\n

She joined Motta Fernandes in 2011, after it was created following a partner split from now-defunct Xavier, Bernardes, Bragan\u00e7a Sociedade de Advogados. Partner and board member Pedro Schiesser Bernardini says Barros left on good terms and that the firm wishes her a successful career.<\/p>\n

Bernardini confirms that his firm is in talks with lawyers to restock its antitrust and compliance practices.<\/p>\n

Motta Fernandes now counts 33 partners in total.<\/p>\n
