Alliances and investments by and between companies have created a need for consultants to help design new corporate structures. Our vast experience in corporate law and in M&A transactions enables us to provide strategic legal services to companies, their partners and shareholders on projects from start to finish.

Our team of professionals combines legal ability with experience and knowledge of the corporate scenario. Focusing on mergers and acquisitions and restructuring plans, we assess the special features of each contract and analyze the risks involved that go beyond mere contractual issues. We advise the organizations at every stage of the process, including post-closing in Brazil and abroad.

We have extensive legal experience in reviewing business plans and in the legal organization of start-up operations, usually technology-based or innovation companies.

We are always alert to changes in the market, and we offer legal assistance to indebted companies which need to dispose of assets, in order to reestablish cash flow.

The area’s activities cover the buying and selling of corporate equity; advice on incorporating companies and terminating them. We draft all the corporate documents necessary and advise our clients on routine matters such as minutes of shareholders’ meetings, shareholders’ agreements, joint-venture agreements, registration of investments and registration of operations with the Brazilian antitrust agency.

We also help define and implement strategies to defend minority and majority shareholders, administrative defenses and an analysis of the normative acts issued by the National Monetary Council and CVM regulations.

Dealing with people is in our corporate DNA. Getting close to our clients enables us to handle potentially uncomfortable or delicate situations between shareholders or related parties, enabling us to deliver legal solutions for the most complex and challenging negotiations.
