Unprecedented move brings together leading experts to apply data intelligence, cybersecurity, and technology regulation across the full spectrum of high-complexity corporate law
São Paulo, August 25, 2026 – In response to the technological revolution now shaping the global economy, Cescon Barrieu announces the integration of Opice Blum’s team. Beyond leading the forefront of digital law, this integration redefines the firm’s capacity to serve corporate clients.
The complexity of today’s business landscape demands a unified vision: the firm establishes market leadership by connecting artificial intelligence, data protection, and legal innovation directly to legal strategies, disputes, advisory mandates, and major transactions.
Dynamic Landscape
“Technology and data intelligence have evolved from support tools into the very backbone of corporate strategy. The market as a whole is undergoing transformation. This accelerated transition imposes new regulatory, cybersecurity, and governance risks that directly challenge companies across all sectors,” says Alexandre Barreto, Managing Partner of Cescon Barrieu.
According to him, by consolidating Brazil’s largest Digital Law practice, Cescon Barrieu is not merely expanding an area of expertise, but integrating legal intelligence across the full breadth of its high-complexity corporate law practice. “Today, technology lies at the core of every industry. Our role is to deliver high-value strategic counsel, enabling companies to navigate this evolution with confidence,” Barreto states.
The expertise of the new team extends well beyond pure technology contracts. The focus is on providing legal solutions for complex transactions and business models in highly regulated sectors, such as agribusiness, mining, healthcare, and financial services. By translating dynamic legislation—such as emerging Artificial Intelligence regulations—into clear compliance guidelines, the firm ensures that end-to-end rigor serves as the foundation for its clients’ sustainable growth.
“We share with Cescon Barrieu the same ambition for leadership and the same drive to overcome the challenges the market presents. Combining our pioneering role in digital law with the institutional strength of a Big Law firm such as Cescon Barrieu uniquely amplifies our capacity to deliver. We are prepared to support our clients through the digital revolution,” says Renato Opice Blum, Founding Partner of Opice Blum.
