Our antitrust practice constantly represents both local and international clients seeking clearance from the Brazilian antitrust authority (Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica – “CADE”) for their business combinations. Over the last few years, we have been consistently positioned among the top 10-firm in number of transactions reported to CADE, being involved in many of the largest and most complex M&A transactions in Brazil. 

 

Our team also has strong experience in defending clients in administrative proceedings before CADE related to behavioral matters, as well as in developing antitrust compliance programs and in consulting on competition issues surrounding advertising and commercial practices.
