Cristina is a senior partner in the Capital Markets and Banking & Finance practices of the firm, with more than 20 years of experience in such practices. She built a track record in capital markets transactions that very few lawyers at seniority were able to achieve. Cristina combines a deep knowledge of capital markets regulations with a practical and deal-oriented approach which makes her one of the most notable practitioners in the capital markets practice in Brazil. She focus on equity deals and has worked on the largest IPOs and follow-on transactions involving Brazilian companies, both with listing exclusively in Brazil with selling efforts under non-registered offering abroad, and in dual listing deals (usually in NYSE or NASDAQ). Her involvement in a long-list of cross border transactions also ensured that she would build an ability to handle international clients which, combined with her impressive communication skills, makes a difference when intrincated Brazilian legal issues require risk assessments and detailed explanation education to international players involved in transactions in Brazil. Cristina has been recognized as a leading practitioner by specialized publications, including those based on market feedback only.
