In the French capital he was also off counsel for the Parisian law firm Valmy Avocats and consultant for the OECD on Private Pension. Less than two years ago, Juliano returned to the practice of law. He is a professor at the Law School of Mackenzie Presbyterian University and at the Post-Graduate Program in Private Pension Funds of IBMEC.

Carlos Alberto Barros has worked for the international law firm Norton Rose Fulbright in Germany and for the European Union’s regulatory body for pension funds and insurance companies, the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA).

She has solid experience in Compliance and expertise in the area of Privacy and Personal Data Protection. Tatiana concluded her master’s degree in Labor Law in 2009, focusing on Privacy and Intimacy in Private Relations, having followed the evolution of data protection since the advent of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and the General Law of Data Protection (LGPD) in the country.
