Cescon Barrieu has reinforced the Wealth and Succession Planning – Family and Succession area with the arrival of Felipe Russomanno (pictured) to join the team led by Gabriel Seijo. The goal is to strengthen the full service operation of the firm. With the expansion of the team, the office becomes one of the first large law firms in Brazil to have a specialized team acting in the advisory and litigation market of the area.

With 10 years of experience in the specialized law practice of Family and Succession Law, Felipe Russomanno arrives as an associate specialized in the sector. The lawyer has a degree in Law from UFRGS, a specialist in Family and Succession Law from PUC-RS, and a master’s degree in Civil Law from USP. He is also currently a professor of Civil Law at Universidade São Judas Tadeu (SP).

The Wealth and Succession Planning – Family and Succession practice area is very comprehensive as to wealth, family, and succession issues, and its performance includes the advisory spheres – with succession and wealth planning – and litigation – with divorces, inventories, and other actions. Having a specialized team dedicated to the matter becomes a differential of Cescon Barrieu, since the client can have all his legal demands attended to by the office he already knows and trusts. The firm already has several succession planning, inventories, and family lawsuits in progress.

Multidisciplinarity is a hallmark of the area, which will invariably work in partnership with Corporate, Tax, Capital Markets, and Real Estate. In cases of intense family litigation, there are sometimes developments in the criminal area, for which Cescon Barrieu also has a specialized team.
