Mattos Filho appoints new managing partner
Roberto Quiroga Mosquera has been appointed as the new managing partner at Brazilian law firm Mattos Filho, following the untimely death of the firm’s former managing partner José Eduardo Carneiro Queiroz on June 29.
Quiroga (pictured) advises both domestic and foreign clients on a wide range of tax matters, including direct and indirect taxes, the tax implications of M&As, corporate restructuring, capital markets and cross-border transactions.
He is a professor of tax law at the Law School of São Paulo University and on the Master of Laws Program at the Law School of the Getulio Vargas Foundation.
Quiroga is one of Brazil’s leading tax experts and is a regular contributor to specialised publications and media outlets, the firm said.
The firm had expressed its shock and sadness at the passing of late managing partner José Eduardo Carneiro Queiroz, who joined the firm in 1995 as an intern and became managing partner in 2015.
