The department is engaged in some of the market's most innovative and significant real estate transactions.
Our real estate practice spans the full spectrum, with a focus on transactions involving the acquisition and sale of stakes in logistics warehouses, corporate offices, and shopping centers across various regions in the country. We handle key cases involving the management of legal audits (due diligence) and the preparation of transaction agreements for the purchase and sale of strategic assets crucial for our clients' business expansion. This includes securing real estate collateral pledges and Special Purpose Entities (SPEs) with urban and rural properties by both Brazilian and foreign entities, regularizing assets, and providing comprehensive support for capital market operations, such as real estate funds and real estate receivables certificates.
Additionally, we facilitate the implementation of structured transactions and the regularization of public property records. Our expertise is particularly valuable for foreign clients, assisting in the development of complex structures to ensure compliance with regulations regarding the occupation and acquisition of rural properties.
