Martinelli Advogados speak about appointment of new tax partner

Martinelli Advogados has continued its strategy of expanding its partnership with the appointment of Luís Felipe Krieger M. Bueno as a partner in its Tax practice. The appointment forms part of an ongoing lateral hiring strategy pursued by the firm throughout 2026, aimed at strengthening strategic practice areas and broadening its full-service platform.

Krieger brings more than 25 years of experience in tax and customs law. He joins Martinelli's Tax practice with extensive expertise in tax advisory, strategic tax litigation, and estate and succession planning. Throughout his career, he has advised Brazilian and international companies on complex tax matters across a wide range of industries, including insurance and reinsurance, healthcare, shopping centres, cosmetics, energy, petrochemicals, and oil and gas.

"I am delighted to accept Juliana Martinelli's invitation to join the firm's partnership," says Krieger. "I am excited by the opportunity to contribute to the continued development of the Tax practice and to expand the strategic solutions we offer our clients."

The appointment of new partners is part of Martinelli's growth strategy, which focuses on attracting experienced professionals with established careers in practice areas that are increasingly critical to clients' businesses. Krieger's arrival further strengthens the firm's ability to advise companies in a business environment shaped by the transformation of Brazil's tax system and the growing demand for integrated solutions that combine tax advisory, litigation and tax risk management.
