Vella Pugliese Buosi e Guidoni Advogados, Dentons’ strategic alliance in Brazil, has announced the opening of a new office in Belo Horizonte, located in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais.
“In recent years, we have opened new offices in Ribeirão Preto and Rio de Janeiro, and we are excited to continue to expand in Brazil in the city of Belo Horizonte. Being close to our local clients and growing our presence throughout the country is important as we look to meet the needs of our clients here in Brazil and around the world,” says founding partner Rodrigo Vella.
The new office will be led by partner Patrícia Barbosa, who has over 15 years of experience specializing in intellectual property, data protection and commercial law. She has extensive experience advising national and international companies including telecommunications, media and technology.
