Souto Correa reinforces the Compliance and Oil & Gas areas

Souto Correa Advogados reinforces its team of partners with the arrival of Anna Paula Carvalho, who will join the Compliance and Oil & Gas areas

With 20 years of experience in large law firms and multinational and national companies, Anna Paula (pictured) has extensive experience in the Brazilian regulatory scenario, having also acted as director of ABESPetro and the Instituto Compliance Rio (IC Rio).

“The Oil & Gas market has heated up again and has been going through relevant discussions, with movements of major stakeholders and the entry of new players. The Compliance area is becoming increasingly important for companies, not only with a focus on combating corruption, but also for attracting investments. Adopting and consolidating an organizational culture of integrity and health has become imperative nowadays. I am happy to be able to contribute with Souto Correa’s clients on these two fronts”, says Anna Paula.

Carlos Souto, CEO of Souto Correa Advogados, evaluates that “as a complete professional and a differentiated person, Anna Paula knows well the different perspectives of our professional activity, not only in the view of those who provide the services, but also, due to her recent years leading legal areas of important multinational companies, in the view of those who hire them. Understanding the client in depth, associating legal knowledge with an effective understanding of the business, is a great differential that will certainly be well used by our clients. We are very excited about it”.

Anna Paula Carvalho has a law degree from the Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), with specialization at Harvard Law School and an MBA from COPPE/UFRJ.
