Both as a professor and in his legal practice, jurist Renato Ribeiro de Almeida has established himself as one of the most respected names in the country in Electoral Law, standing out for his technical depth, methodological clarity, and strategic handling of highly complex institutional cases. His books are a national reference on the subject and bestsellers in specialized legal literature. In his legal practice, his professional work focuses on defending political agents, high-profile public figures, and companies that maintain significant relationships with the Public Authorities.

 

In academia, he has built a solid career as a scholar and university professor, with extensive involvement in postgraduate courses, continuing education programs, and specialized lectures in various states of the Federation. His teaching output is aimed at highly qualified audiences—lawyers, judges, members of the Public Prosecutor's Office, law students, and public sector professionals—always with a critical, up-to-date approach oriented towards the practical application of Electoral Law.

 

Throughout his career, he has acquired widely recognized experience before the Supreme Federal Court, the Superior Electoral Court, and the Regional Electoral Courts, working on thousands of electoral processes distributed throughout the national territory. This experience provides in-depth mastery of jurisprudence, structuring precedents, and the decision-making logic of the courts, allowing for precise and strategically oriented technical action at each stage of the process.

 

In parallel with electoral law, he has developed significant experience in public civil actions for administrative misconduct, as well as in consultations and technical defenses before Courts of Accounts, especially in matters involving the rejection of accounts, the accountability of public agents, and their electoral and institutional repercussions. This integration between Electoral Law and Public Sanctioning Law provides a broad and systemic view of the cases under his guidance.

 

His legal practice is characterized by personalized, exclusive work and high technical rigor. Each case is treated as unique, especially in sensitive matters with a strong political, institutional, or reputational impact, where a qualified reading of the context, combined with legal precision, is crucial for building effective solutions.

 

Among the main areas of concentration are: rejection of accounts by Courts of Auditors; actions for administrative misconduct; procedures and convictions in ethics committees within the Legislative Houses; participation in Parliamentary Commissions of Inquiry (CPIs); irregular political propaganda; founding and organization of political parties; abuse of political and economic power; party loyalty; illicit fundraising and irregular campaign financing ("slush fund"); supplementary elections, among other highly complex and institutionally significant issues.
