Renato Belfiore is a business and human rights advocate. He holds an LL.M. from the University of Amsterdam and an LL.B. from the University of São Paulo, Largo de São Francisco.

He has a solid background in corporate law through serval experiences in diverse Brazilian offices and was part of some of the original operations from Pogust Goodhead in Mariana, handling some of the most vulnerable victims and municipalities. Also, Renato had considerable experience in Digital Rights and the protection of basic rights in social media.    

Renato is also part of the board of YAP Brasil, an NGO that promotes advocacy training to future leaders of traditional communities. In that project, YAP looks to provide tools for future leaders to promote their projects, while helping them to fund their projects.

Now, back in Pogust Goodhead, Renato looks to pursue justice against companies and governments that oppress and abuse our society and environment in transnational courts. He sees this as the solution to Allende’s problem of sovereignty and survival.
