Stocche Forbes Advogados assembles a robust corporate and M&A offering which covers both domestic and cross-border transactions, as well as non-transactional corporate matters. The group has particular expertise advising private equity funds, blue-chip clients, and publicly listed businesses on M&A, investments and divestments, and business combinations. Co-heading the practice are André Mestriner Stocche, Flavio Meyer, and Fabiano Milani, all of whom have extensive experience handling M&A and corporate restructuring matters. Stocche is also adept in public offerings, while Meyer frequently represents shareholders and directors in administrative procedures before the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission. Milani is a key contact for support on private equity deals on both the buy- and sell-side. The team also benefits from the expertise of Bruno Bercito, a name to note for corporate governance, corporate restructurings and multijurisdictional transactions, and Luciana Stracieri, who excels in M&A involving the private equity and real estate sectors. Rafael Andrade and Teo Galvão are also recommended for large corporate transactions in Brazil and Latin America.
