Brazil > Corporate and M&A: Mid-market
CGM Advogados ‘provides legal services of the highest quality’ to a diverse roster of international and domestic clients – including large corporations and emerging companies from the worlds of banking, chemicals, technology, life sciences, real estate and retail – on a variety of corporate work, ranging from corporate governance to reorganisations. Mid-market M&A is a key pillar of the practice, which is under the joint leadership of a capable trio: Adriano Chaves, who is rated for his ‘great technical and market knowledge’, is recommended for tech-related deals; René Gelman , who has recently advised on strategic alliances, corporate reorganisations, and investments; and the ‘business-focused’ Martim Machado, whose standing in the Brazilian M&A market spans three decades. The ‘pragmatic’ Marcia Mandelbaum is a ‘deal-maker’ for foreign companies investing in Brazil. Recently promoted partner Camila Cardinale focuses on M&A, corporate law and contractual matters.
