We are a law firm with a fully dedicated team advising investment managers and fund formation. Our practice focuses on the so-called structured funds – receivables funds (FIDC), private equity funds (FIP), real estate funds (FII), and agribusiness funds (Fiagro). We are frequently hired by national and international clients across various sectors to assist with the formation of managers, structuring of funds, public offerings, and private placements of quotas, as well as their investments and divestments.
Our team covers the entire lifecycle of the funds, from the formation of the manager and fund (including tax and regulatory issues) to investments, divestments, and public offerings. We also have specialized lawyers who assist clients with the rules issued by the CVM, Anbima, and other regulatory bodies applicable to the fund industry in Brazil.
We offer comprehensive advisory on regulatory matters, from disclosure requirements to innovative and disruptive discussions of new products and activities with regulators.
