Ana Paula Reis – BMA Advogados

‘Formed by highly qualified and experienced professionals’, the corporate and M&A team at BMA Advogados attracts instructions from several private and public companies in relation to their largest and most critical domestic and cross-border transactions. Showcasing strong capabilities across the entire spectrum of corporate and transactional matters, the team is engaged by clients operating in an array of industries – including energy, telecoms, oil and gas, retail, agribusiness and mining – with regards to complex M&A deals, corporate restructuring, private equity investments and governance issues. The group, which often collaborates with the litigation practice, is also well versed in corporate and shareholder disputes. Luís Loria Flaks, in Rio de Janeiro, has a wealth of experience in reorganisations, joint ventures and cross-border M&A, while São Paulo-based Roberto Dias Carneiro is a key contact for financial services, construction, energy and agribusiness clients; the pair jointly oversee the department. In the São Paulo office, founding partner Paulo Cezar Aragão has a strong track record in corporate transactions involving Latin American jurisdictions; Monique Mavignier is active in private and public M&A on behalf of sellers and buyers; Ana Paula Reis stands out for her regulatory expertise; and Pedro Henrique Serqueira advises on divestments, joint ventures and commercial agreements. Amir Bocayuva Cunha – who is routinely retained by entrepreneurs, private equity funds and public companies – works out of the Rio de Janeiro office, where he is flanked by senior associates Thiago Pinho and Karina Lerner; both are additional names to note for corporate and M&A matters.
