Two of the main partners, Carlos Daniel Neto and Diego Diniz Ribeiro, have been lawyers for a long time, both are very respected by their peers in academic and professional circles, thanks to their solid academic background and their long experience in CARF, being usually invited as guest speakers in Tax Courses and specialized seminars. The third partner to join, Antônio Atulim, is a former (retired) Tax Auditor from Federal Revenue Office, who worked as a Tax Judge at CARF for 13 years and joined the firm to strengthen both litigation and consultancy expertise.
