Our team of experienced lawyers assists clients with planning corporate governance structures, drafting corporate organizational documents, compliance with periodic corporate obligations (including Shareholders Annual Meetings) and filing the required periodic documentation with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission. Our firm also assists with incorporation of legal entities in Brazil, the registration of foreign investments with the Central Bank of Brazil and the planning and implementation of corporate restructurings, mergers, incorporations, consolidations, spin-offs and transformations.

We understand that in order to exceed our clients’ expectations we must tailor our services to their needs. We provide sophisticated strategies and innovative solutions that are always grounded on an in depth technical understanding of our clients’ specific businesses and industries. We employ these solutions to help Brazilian and foreign clients successfully navigate the diverse and challenging legal and regulatory systems in corporate transactions.

Our team includes lawyers from such practices as antitrust, corporate and securities, environmental, finance, labor, regulatory and tax. Working together, our team provides a comprehensive solution to the full array of issues that arise in complex corporate transactions. For example, acting jointly with our tax lawyers, our team is able to consider all of the diverse alternative corporate structures available in order to optimize the tax planning approach.

Our cross-practice, cross-border approach to meeting the needs of our clients on regional and global projects means that we can offer our clients a thorough understanding of the legal systems in which they are based as well as those in the regions where they want to do business.

Although we have assisted clients in large and complex transactions, we consider our greatest strength to be the attention, care and partner-led service we give to all of our clients, regardless of the size of the deal.
