Machado Meyer Sendacz e Opice Advogados is seen with great regularity advising an enviable roster of clients – including private and publicly held companies, financial institutions, investment firms, pension funds and governmental entities – on industry-defining transactions. Besides its proficiency in high-value M&A across an array of sectors (ranging from energy to education and telecoms), the practice also undertakes transactional work pertaining to joint ventures, asset divestments, privatisations and corporate finance. A strong performer on both buy and sell-side mandates, the firm is singled out for its geographical reach across Brazil and international capabilities, which ensure it is particularly well positioned to handle cross-border deals. Practice head Arthur Bardawil Penteado is the name to note for public M&A and high-value private equity investments. The latter is also a core area of focus for Mauro Cesar Leschziner, who is also engaged by clients from the worlds of agribusiness, healthcare, technology, education and consumer goods in relation to M&A, corporate and contractual matters. In addition to his strong M&A capabilities, Guilherme Bueno Malouf has a wealth of experience in the structuring of investment funds, while Elie Sherique (who is a member of the firm’s Latin American and Iberian desks), is proficient in domestic and cross-border business transactions.
