Demonstrating particular strength in the agribusiness, healthcare, energy, education and technology sectors, the firm – which recently opened an office in Madrid – is routinely retained by private equity firms on buy-side mandates, as well as on sales by family-owned businesses and acquisitions for large corporations. Founding partner Henrique Martins has a wealth of experience in the private equity space. He receives key support from a pair of capable young partners: Daniel Rodrigues Alves, who handles domestic and cross-border M&A involving several segments (with a special emphasis on agribusiness, energy, services and healthcare); and Mateus Lopes da Silva Leite, who brings together expertise in M&A, corporate and contractual matters, private equity and venture capital. Associate Raphael Pereira Arantes Pires is also active in transactional work, drawing on his experience in tax, accounting and wealth planning.
