Guerrero Olivos counseled its long standing client Unifrutti Group in the acquisition of 50% of the shares of Uni-Kiwi S.A. (the other 50% was also previously acquired by Unifrutti). Guerrero Olivos was counsel to both parties. Previous to the closing, considering that the sellers’ final controllers were from abroad (Italy), we had to pay special attention to tax matters and separate certain assets that were retained by the sellers.
The deal is important due that Unifrutti Group is the main fruit exporter in Chile and is expanding its business.
Lawyers from Guerrero Olivos involved in this transaction: Partners Hernán Felipe Errázuriz and José Joaquín Laso. Senior associate: Josefina Yávar. All part of Guerrero Olivos’s corporate/M&A groups.
