Mergers & Acquisitions and Corporate Law

Mergers & Acquisitions

We advise companies, investors, and family groups on mergers & acquisitions, acquisitions through competitive processes (auctions/privatizations), startups, joint ventures, private equity/venture capital, reorganizations and spin-offs, complex corporate structures, corporate governance, foreign investment, and shareholders’ agreements.

End-to-end coverage:

• Transaction strategy and structure (vehicles, risk allocation, closing conditions, earn-outs, and purchase price adjustments).
• Comprehensive due diligence and risk maps with actionable recommendations.
• Negotiation and drafting of share/asset purchase agreements, shareholders’ agreements, and investment agreements.
• Regulatory and antitrust approvals (corporate registries, capital markets, foreign exchange controls, and competition authorities).
• Closing and post-closing integration, including corporate and contractual implementation.

We integrate tax and labor considerations into the overall strategy to optimize costs, mitigate risks, and ensure seamless execution.

Corporate and Business Operations:

We support the day-to-day corporate and contractual life of companies, ensuring efficient commercial operations. Among other matters, we advise on:

• Commercial contracts: services agreements, supply agreements, loans agreements, guarantees agreements, assignment of rights, trusts.
• Distribution channels: agency, distribution, concession, and franchise agreements.
• Collaborative agreements: joint ventures, Temporary Business Unions (UTE), Business Collaboration Groups (ACE), and other cooperative structures.
• Corporate housekeeping: filings and registrations, corporate books and minutes, by-law amendments.
• Prevention and resolution of corporate disputes: preventive agreements, deadlocks, orderly exits.
• Representation of public and private companies before regulators and third parties.

How we work: we understand that every transaction is, above all, a business decision. We design structures that anticipate risks, negotiate with a practical approach, and support the real implementation of agreements. Our focus is on closing complex transactions efficiently, securely, and with sustainable value creation.
