The firm is now commencing 2021 with a total of 109 partners, reinforcing its commitment to continuous growth and its long-term vision.
With experience in contracts, mergers and acquisitions, mining policy and regulatory issues, Adriano Drummond Trindade has joined the Infrastructure and Energy area, focusing on mining. This industry has contributed to the resumption of economic growth in Brazil. A professor at the University of Brasilia (UnB) and holding a master’s degree in Natural Resources Law and Policy from the University of Dundee in the United Kingdom, Adriano has substantial experience both domestically and internationally advising clients about issues related to mining law and policy. Besides, he frequently teaches courses at Brazilian and foreign institutions and has worked on developing initiatives in the same area for other governments. Based in Brasilia, where mining sector regulatory bodies are also located, Trindade will expand Mattos Filho’s activities in the nation’s capital, where another three of the firm’s partners already operate in other areas of legal practice. Mattos Filho’s Brasilia office is a point of reference for clients and other stakeholders in dealing with the consultative, regulatory and judicial demands of federal public authorities and higher courts.
With a PhD in Law from the University of São Paulo (USP) and a role as a visiting researcher at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, Pedro Eroles joins the Banking and Financial Services area of the firm. Based in São Paulo, Eroles has substantial experience in advisory matters for financial institutions, payment institutions and fintechs, as well as in highly diverse types of operations in which regulated entities are involved, including financing, mergers and acquisitions, and debt operations. Also, a consultant for the Journal of the General Counsel for the Central Bank of Brazil, Eroles’ arrival to the firm seeks to consolidate Mattos Filho’s operations in the financial and payments industry, focusing on innovative and multidisciplinary projects.
