Our experience encompasses the purchase and sale of companies, primary investments, joint venture formations, and other forms of business combinations, always seeking the best solutions for our clients.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Our practice covers all phases of M&A transactions, including transaction structuring, legal due diligence, drafting and negotiating contracts, and overseeing the closing of the transaction. Additionally, we handle the process of obtaining prior authorization from the main regulatory bodies in the country, such as the CVM, Central Bank of Brazil, and SUSEP.
Economic Sectors
Our practice is comprehensive and spans all economic sectors, including financial markets, technology, agribusiness, energy, services, industry, healthcare, among others. We advise both buyers and sellers, as well as private equity and venture capital investment funds.
Our Approach
Our partners actively participate in the transactions and are present at every stage of the process, from negotiation to structuring and overseeing legal due diligence. Furthermore, we have a team of professionals recognized for their high technical quality, excellence in client service, and high ethical standards.
Our work in M&A transactions is guided by a commitment to meeting the specific needs of each client. We develop customized legal alternatives and solutions, focused on effective and efficient results. We are “pro-deal” and always strive to facilitate the successful completion of transactions. Our expertise in transaction negotiation and risk analysis enables us to identify and mitigate potential issues, ensuring the security and success of our clients’ transactions.
Our corporate team works closely with our tax team to propose tax structures for the transaction to mitigate risk.
Technology Applied to M&A Transactions
As part of our commitment to excellence, we have implemented client-focused cost-reduction technological initiatives and efficiency measures, ensuring streamlined processes and optimized outcomes.
For example, we offer our platform VBSO Conecta, designed to enhance client engagement and transparency throughout the mergers and acquisitions process. VBSO Conecta provides clients with real-time updates on their cases, from the due diligence stages to the final phases of the process.
