About

Provided by Machado Meyer

New technologies, educational reforms, and growing interest from major investors are reshaping Brazil’s education sector. Our primary role in this context is to support the development of strategic businesses, provide regulatory guidance, and assist in conflict resolution.

We serve public and private sector entities, non-profit organizations, and both domestic and international investors—including private equity funds—active in or connected to the education industry.

Our work focuses on advising clients in the structuring of mergers and acquisitions, general investments, and capital market transactions, as well as in the drafting and review of complex contracts, shareholders’ agreements, and regulatory compliance matters. We also handle civil, tax, and regulatory litigation.

In addition to regulatory and transactional matters, we assist schools, educational institutions, universities, and edtech companies in complying with emerging online protection frameworks such as the recently enacted ECA Digital and the LGPD.

Our support includes designing secure educational platforms, developing age verification and parental supervision policies, ensuring sound student data governance, establishing content and advertising guidelines for minors, drafting contracts with technology providers, and managing incident response—always with a focus on security, ethics, and operational continuity.
