JCM announces the return of a partner and strengthens areas
Junqueira de Carvalho e Murgel Advogados (JCM) has announced the return of Carlos Alberto Barros (pictured) to its team of partners.
Carlos Alberto returns to JCM’s São Paulo office and takes over the leadership of the Capital Markets and Finance area, which he helped to structure alongside Fábio Junqueira, the firm’s founding partner between 2007 and 2020.
Both have built an outstanding area, recognized for its excellence in both strategic consulting and specialized litigation, with work before PREVIC, CVM, SUSEP, as well as judicial and arbitration litigation aimed at recovering financial losses.
With more than 20 years’ experience in providing legal advice to institutional investors, Carlos Alberto is a reference in the intersection between governance, regulatory compliance and defending the interests of supplementary pension entities.
His return also marks the resumption of the partnership with César Aguiar, who led the area for the last five years, reinforcing the synergy and technical capacity of the team. Currently, the area has five specialized lawyers and an exclusive consultant – a retired federal prosecutor and former president of the Supplementary Social Security Appeals Chamber (CRPC).
Carlos Alberto holds a master’s degree in Law and Finance from the Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, and has also worked for Norton Rose Fulbright (Germany) and the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), consolidating an international perspective aligned with the contemporary challenges of regulation and governance in the Brazilian pension sector.
He is also the creator and co-author of the Supplementary Pension System Risk Survey, which makes up the annual ranking of Brazilian pension funds – a study that has already become a reference in the sector and is carried out within the scope of Abrapp’s Southeast-East Governance and Risk Commission.
Between 2020 and 2025, Barros was a founding partner of Barra, Barros & Roxo Advogados, which closed its activities in May 2025.
