With a multidisciplinary team, composed of experts from different areas of practice, Mattos Filho launches the Venture Capital practice, using the expertise it already applies in the most relevant transactions in the country, to develop and drive innovative businesses.

“The firm already has extensive expertise in several practices adherent to the Venture Capital industry. This launch will add even more excellence to our client service platform, reinforcing our creative spirit, which understands the importance of entrepreneurship for the social and economic development of the country,” says Roberto Quiroga (pictured), managing partner of Mattos Filho.
