Luiz Roberto Salles Souza retired as a prosecutor after serving as São Paulo’s Public Prosecutor for 31 years.

Besides the reinforcements in the team, the firm also announced a change in its corporate name, with the inclusion of the name of partner Bruno Magosso de Paiva after 15 years of partnership, adopting Iokoi e Paiva Advogados, without, however, announcing any change in the firm’s brand.
