Claudio Lampert graduated from Rio
de Janeiro State University (1989) and has an LLM from the University of Miami
(1998). He worked at Baker & McKenzie (1992-1997) and Greenberg Traurig (1997-1998)
before joining Veirano Advogados in Rio de Janeiro, where he led the
infrastructure and projects practices for more than 10 years.
Claudio has expertise in project development,
infrastructure deals, project finance and M&A in the energy, mining,
logistics, and oil and gas sectors. His experience includes, among other
matters, regulatory development of greenfield businesses; the formation of
special purpose vehicles and capital structures of project companies (via debt
or equity); construction agreements; equipment supply agreements; capital
markets; and regulation.
Between 2007 and 2012, he was an
executive officer of LLX Logística, the largest private integrated logistics
project in Latin America, where he was able to develop and head into operation
with two super ports in the State of Rio de Janeiro: Porto Sudeste, a bulk
terminal with capacity to handle 50 million tons of iron ore per year; and
Porto do Açu, a multi-cargo terminal with the capacity to handle bulk, general
cargo, and oil trans-shipment and storage. At LLX he also led the firm's institutional
work in changing the legal framework of the ports sector, which ultimately led
to the enactment of Law 12,815/13, the new Port Statute that currently guides
investments in the sector.
After leaving LLX, he spent some years
as the partner responsible for the infrastructure and project finance areas of
Lefosse Advogados, a São Paulo-based corporate and capital markets firm.
