Brazil > Corporate and M&A: Mid-market
(Next Generation Partners)Abe Advogados fields a ‘diverse, multidisciplinary team‘ which is a key port of call for clients across the technology, financial services, retail, agribusiness, education and energy sectors. Middle-market domestic and cross-border M&A are a mainstay for the practice, which stands out for its ability to advise international players, including Japanese clients, on the establishing and winding up of local operations. Commended for its ‘high technical quality‘, the department is jointly led by the ‘sharp‘ Marcos Seiiti Abe, who is particularly experienced in M&A involving distressed assets, and Fernando Zanotti Schneider, a key adviser on corporate transactions, joint ventures and foreign investment. William Joji Nakasone, who was promoted to partner in December 2022, brings together experience in M&A, restructurings and corporate governance.
