Georges D Landau, Managing Director
Francisco Mirto, Senior Associate

Menas do Brasil undertakes the same types of projects as Menas Associates does, with special reference to the Brazilian arena. We can smooth the way in your dealings with:

• government relations, in particular with Congress and the Ministry of Mines and Energy
• energy-related regulatory agencies such as ANP for oil and gas and ANEEL for electric power
• state-owned energy companies Petrobras and Eletrobrás
• Brazilian and multilateral financial agencies (BNDES) and regional banks (BNB and BASA), the Bank of Brazil, and the World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank
• the federal environmental agency IBAMA and its state counterparts
• NGOs and other entities working in corporate social responsibility

Menas do Brasil can formulate tailored assessments on the Brazilian political and security situation, foreign policy, international trade, and other topics as your needs dictate. We provide companies with briefings and training exercises on how to do business in Brazil, and how manage your relationships with agencies of the federal and state administrations.

Although Menas do Brasil does not deal with media relations programmes on behalf of clients, we can recommend excellent Brazilian partners.
