As part of its plan to expand and strengthen strategic practices and its performance in the technology and innovation sector, Cescon Barrieu announced the return of partner Luiz Felipe Di Sessa to join the Technology area.
“Luiz’s return aligns with our focus on increasingly strategic areas. He combines solid transaction experience with in-depth knowledge of technology, innovation, and regulated sectors—key issues for today’s market. With his arrival, we strengthen our ability to offer comprehensive advisory services, integrating transactional, regulatory, and dispute resolution aspects,” stated Alexandre Barreto , managing partner of Cescon Barrieu.
According to Barreto, technology will continue to advance across all sectors of the economy, with artificial intelligence as the main driver of this transformation. This goes far beyond the technology industry itself, he noted, adding that “digital innovation is redesigning markets such as finance, healthcare, energy, infrastructure, and agribusiness.” The managing partner continued, “We already have a dedicated and highly skilled team in this area. Luiz joins us to build upon that foundation, contributing his experience to further strengthen a practice we consider a priority.”

With extensive experience in the technology industry and strategic issues related to the new economy, Luiz Felipe joins the firm at a time of growth and transformation, contributing to expanding Cescon Barrieu’s presence in innovation and digital business. The partner has experience in transactional, regulatory, and litigation matters, with a focus on technology contracts, intellectual property, data protection, and complex disputes.
In the transactional area, she advises clients on contracts related to licensing, research, development, and innovation (R&D&I), as well as guarantees and complex TSA (Transition Service Agreement) structures. In the regulatory sphere, she represents clients before the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) in investigations related to business models and security incidents, and also supports clients in structuring AI governance programs. In litigation, she handles highly complex strategic disputes.
The arrival of Di Sessa reinforces Cescon Barrieu’s position of offering increasingly integrated and multidisciplinary consulting services to companies operating in environments of technological transformation. The firm’s assessment is that technology, driven largely by artificial intelligence, is no longer restricted to the tech sector itself, but permeates all sectors, from financial services and healthcare to infrastructure, energy, and agriculture.
