Priscila Santos Artigas

Priscila graduated in Law from the Faculty of Law of Curitiba in 1995 and specialised in Business Law (Tax, Corporate and Labour) at the Institute of Lawyers of Paraná in 1996/1998.

As a lawyer, in the beginning of her career Priscila worked in several areas of law, such as labour, corporate, contracts and tax, having broad generic knowledge, which allows her to advocate with a broader view in Environmental Law cases.

From the beginning, she coordinates a team as Leading Lawyer, serving the most diverse areas, such as infrastructure, mining, hydroelectric, industry, pharmaceutical, real estate, contaminated areas, waste, etc. For example, she is the lawyer who coordinates the team (now with five lawyers and three trainees) that has been in charge, since 2006, of environmental licensing and the administrative and litigation processes of the Hidroeletric Plant of Belo Monte.

Priscila has a master’s degree in Philosophy and General Theory of Law (2008) and a PhD in Economic and Financial Law (subarea Environmental Law) (2012), both from the University of São Paulo / USP.

She is the Chairwoman of the Environmental Studies Commission of the São Paulo Institute of Lawyers – IASP since 2013 and a member of “Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil”.
