Martinelli Advogados adds partner Mariana Kapor
Martinelli Advogados has brought on Mariana Kapor Drumond as a partner, strengthening its White-Collar Defense, Corporate Criminal Law, Criminal Compliance, and Privacy and Personal Data Protection practices. The move comes as Brazilian companies face growing convergence between regulatory enforcement, governance failures, and criminal liability — particularly in heavily regulated sectors.
Mariana Kapor Drumond brings more than 15 years of experience advising domestic and international companies, executives, and individuals in investigations and disputes involving corporate fraud, environmental crimes, tax crimes, financial offenses, capital markets matters, public administration investigations, cybercrime, and cases arising from workplace accidents. Her practice spans both advisory and contentious work in legally and reputationally sensitive matters.
Throughout her career, Mariana Kapor Drumond has developed a track record in corporate crisis management and in designing preventive strategies to mitigate criminal risks. She is also involved in the implementation and review of compliance, governance, and personal data protection programs, with a focus on situations where regulatory failures may trigger corporate and executive liability.
A notable aspect of her practice includes advising and representing clients before Parliamentary Commissions of Inquiry (CPIs) at Brazil’s National Congress, as well as in sanctioning administrative proceedings before regulatory bodies such as the Office of the Comptroller General (CGU), state comptroller agencies (CGEs), the National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL), the National Mining Agency (ANM), and the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), with particular emphasis on matters related to Brazil’s Anti-Corruption Law.
