About this office:
Lanna Peixoto Advogados (LP) is a highly specialized firm which provides premier and customized legal services in the areas of Brazilian and international antitrust and regulatory law, international trade, trademarks and unfair competition, and FCPA & international anti-corruption law.
The Antitrust Practice Group has played a major role in shaping the application and interpretation of Brazilian antitrust law in state and federal courts. LP has successfully elaborated and filed the first private actions for damages caused by cartelization in Brazil. It has also obtained injunctive relief for its clients in landmark decisions in actions involving coordinated and unilateral anti-competitive conducts.
In addition, LP has advised leading companies on its commercial practices and business strategies and has developed and implemented state-of-the-art compliance programs.
LP has also conducted notifications of mergers and acquisitions in a variety of industries, performing a comprehensive assessment of specific efficiencies derived from operations as well as their effects on Brazilian and Latin American markets. It has also markedly contributed to promoting a better understanding of the core goals of Brazilian antitrust law through distinctive achievements, such as defending merger-specific dynamic efficiencies as a relevant factor in assessing a merger's net effects on consumer and aggregate welfare, and effectively advocating the merger review focus on post-merger market dynamics and output or price equilibria rather than on traditional static structural analyses.
