Evaluating risks for
better decision-making

Our multidisciplinary approach allows us to examine the areas of a target company that are relevant to each transaction with both depth and objectivity. We identify contingencies, obligations, liabilities, and other factors that may affect the price, transaction structure, representations and warranties, and other commercial terms.

Our legal due diligence practice is recognized for its extensive experience and active involvement in M&A, private equity, venture capital, debt capital markets, joint venture, and real estate transactions in Brazil and abroad. We advise buyers, sellers, investors, and asset managers, providing technical, pragmatic, and decision-oriented analysis.

Our specialists advise on transactions involving public and private companies on both the buy-side and sell-side, including M&A, private equity, venture capital, debt capital markets (DCM), joint ventures, court-ordered government receivables, preventive and annual audits, ESG matters, and assets generally. The practice is organized into the following areas:

M&A and Capital Markets.
Private Equity and Venture Capital.
Debt Capital Markets, including agribusiness receivables certificates (CRA), real estate receivables certificates (CRI), and debenture offerings.
Court-ordered government receivables.
Annual and preventive legal audits.
ESG.

On the buy-side, we advise buyers and investors on developing a clear understanding of the target company’s legal position by mapping the risks, liabilities, contingencies, and obligations that may affect the transaction, its parties, or the investment strategy.

This informed legal assessment supports more efficient negotiations, an appropriate allocation of responsibilities, and greater confidence in decision-making.

On the sell-side, we advise sellers, companies, and shareholders on preparing the target company and/or its assets for competitive sale processes, private transactions, and other strategic deals. Our work is designed to anticipate sensitive issues, organize relevant information, identify risks that may affect negotiations, and help ensure that the transaction process is conducted with greater predictability, efficiency, and legal certainty.
