Since its inception, Roberto has spearheaded the DE&I program at Mattos Filho, also sponsoring the creation of Mfriendly, the firm’s LGBTQIAPN+ employee resource group. Since the beginning of 2021, Roberto has also participated in the firm’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee. Comprised of the leaders of Mattos Filho’s six affinity groups, the committee oversees the program’s strategy to bring DE&I and intersectionality efforts into the mainstream. Roberto also established the firm’s pro bono practice area, the Mattos Filho 100% Pro Bono, which in 2022 alone dedicated 851 hours to cases concerning LGBTQIAPN+ rights.
