About

Provided by CMS Grau

At CMS Grau we understand the challenges you may face in the normal course of your
business. Our hallmark is to incorporate elements that allow operations to be
successful over time, facilitating the integration of the cultures of the companies
involved, in order to maximize synergies.

We have a solid corporate team that provides support in the design, negotiation, and execution of mergers and acquisitions in the mining, energy, real estate, commercial, industrial, health, agriculture, and other sectors, going through all phases of the negotiations until the conclusion of the agreement and post-closing follow-up.

We have participated in the largest purchase of shares and rights ever to have taken place in Peru in the amount of more than 6 billion dollars, as well as in the important operations ever carried out in the electricity sector.

We have a well-developed and well-achieved work methodology that reviews in detail all regulatory, environmental, sectoral and other relevant aspects of a transaction. We make sure that there is always an efficient tax planning, and we examine all the sensitive aspects from the labor point of view. We work closely with audit firms, financial consultants, and in the case of natural resource transactions, with environmental, community relations and social consulting firms.
