Corporate and M&A

About

Team

We are consistently ranked among Brazil’s leading law firms in Corporate and M&A.

Our Corporate and M&A practice delivers end-to-end execution in complex transactions — from design to integration — with a focus on closing certainty, timing, and efficient risk allocation. We serve public and private companies, strategic and financial investors, with integrated work on tender offers, reorganizations, shareholder agreements, related-party transactions, and meetings.
We represent clients in all aspects of Brazilian corporate law and the public company regime (CVM), with extensive experience in regulated transactions and procedures, including public tender offers, mergers/share exchanges, and high-complexity governance. With a track record in several of the largest market transactions, our team combines technical expertise, business insight, and objective documentation, prioritizing timelines, closing certainty, and post-closing without surprises.
