Mattos Filho has announced seven lawyers have been promoted to the firm’s partnership. The new partners work across six different practice areas: Litigation & Arbitration, Finance, Asset Management Services & Investment Funds, Infrastructure & Energy, Corporate/M&A, and Tax.
With a keen eye on the demands of the most diverse sectors of the economy and the needs of the market, the promotion of lawyers follows the strategy of expanding business development, as well as generating opportunities and developing internal talents.
“The decision to bring in the new partners reaffirms our vision for the firm’s long-term success as we continue to position ourselves as the ideal strategic partner for our clients. We have sought lawyers with different profiles, all of whom are renowned for their outstanding performance and broad expertise in their areas of practice. The new partners work in areas with strong prospects for increased demand and will further strengthen the firm’s full-service model – a hallmark of Mattos Filho,” explained Mattos Filho’s managing partner, Pedro Whitaker de Souza Dias.
Six of the seven new partners are women. In the last five years, internal partner promotions at the firm have been practically even in terms of men (31) and women (29) – 52% and 48%, respectively.
