FIUS Advogados advised the sellers of Grupo VSOL — comprising VSOL Análises Ambientais, Laboratório Vapor Solutions and Econsulting Projetos e Consultoria Ambiental — on the sale of 100% of their equity interests to AmSpec Group, a global provider of testing, inspection and certification services.
The acquisition represents one of the most significant investments in the environmental analysis sector in Latin America and reinforces AmSpec’s expansion strategy in the region. By combining Grupo VSOL’s well-established market position, technical expertise and experienced professionals with AmSpec’s global platform, the transaction strengthens the buyer’s presence in a rapidly growing market.
FIUS represented multiple selling groups throughout the transaction, coordinating different stakeholders and aligning distinct commercial interests to ensure a unified negotiation strategy. The firm’s work included supporting the sellers during the due diligence process, negotiating and drafting the transaction documents, coordinating legal and financial advisers, and managing the execution timetable to deliver a smooth and efficient closing.
The matter required the coordination of multiple parties, different seller profiles and a complex transaction timeline. FIUS’s multidisciplinary approach, bringing together M&A, corporate and tax specialists, enabled the team to provide strategic advice, technical excellence and predictability throughout every stage of the transaction.
The transaction was led by M&A partner Andrea Ometto Bittar Tincani, with the support of Pedro Goulart Cheng, Júlia Cristina de Arruda Savioli, Jéssica Nader and Julio Cesar Costa Fonseca Valente de Lima.
