Leandro E. Belusci
Leandro E. Belusci has developed his career in the field of banking and capital markets law for over ten years at the firm.
He has advised banks, companies, and investment funds in both local and international financing and debt issuance transactions, participating in some of the most complex, innovative, and high-value deals in the country.

He has actively worked on matters involving environmental compliance, climate change, permitting, litigation, public policy, renewable energy, community relations, and carbon markets, among others.
