Azevedo Sette Advogados has announced the addition of Renato Lopes da Rocha (pictured) to the firm’s partnership.
The new partner has extensive experience in Administrative Courts and Higher Courts, primarily serving companies in the mining, industrial, steel, commercial, education, healthcare, and consumer goods sectors. With his addition and that of a team of three other attorneys—all with excellent track records and training in their respective fields—we are further strengthening our already prestigious Tax Practice. Renato will handle litigation alongside partner Paulo Penteado de Faria e Silva Neto, who focuses on advisory services.

He has also completed refresher courses on the Consumer Tax Reform at the Arcadas Foundation and Agile Leadership and Executive Communication at Hyper Island Brazil (2026).
