Djalma began his legal career at Miguel Neto Advogados, where he remained associated for almost eight years. With almost 20 years of experience in the tax area, he also worked in other law firms, either in boutique or large-firm profiles. In 2019, after seven years, he returned to Miguel Neto Advogados as a partner in the tax area.

Djalma has a postgraduate degree and an MBA as a specialist in tax matters, with an emphasis on tax, administrative and judicial disputes.
He has extensive experience managing liabilities and strategic tax litigation (tax deficiency notices, special tax regimes, tax recovery, tax burden reduction, and tax regularity). He usually works in cases of high technical complexity that involve the preparation of papers and interventions with judgment bodies, whether administrative or judicial.
His expertise extends to assessing fiscal impacts in commercial and financial transactions, issuing opinions, and suggesting alternatives for optimizing results and risk reduction.

He also works in assessing risks in mergers and acquisitions by auditing, from the legal and tax perspectives, contingent assets and liabilities that affect transactions (risk assessment in due diligence processes).

He is responsible for the transaction and mediation projects in the tax area, negotiating discounts and advantageous conditions (including arrangements with creditors, installment payments, and credit deductions, among others) in proposals for the equalization and regularization of tax liabilities.
