Lemos and Tedesco specialise in litigation, a practice area that has seen growth in Brazil in the past few years. Their promotions are partly intended to address this growth, which Mattos Filho expects to continue.

Theodoro, meanwhile, focuses much of his practice on indirect tax. José Eduardo Carneiro Queiroz, who has been the firm’s managing partner since April 2015, said that companies are increasingly seeking advice in this area as they look to benefit from more favourable indirect tax regimes in different parts of Brazil.
