About

Provided by Madrona Fialho Advogados

Madrona Advogados’ experienced team advises on a wide range of structures used for M&A transactions, such as joint ventures, partial or total purchase or sale of shares/quotas, asset purchase, structuring of greenfield or brownfield projects, consortia or special partnerships, management buyouts, and leveraged buyouts, among other possible models used to best achieve our clients’ goals. Our clients, national and foreign, come from many backgrounds, such as strategic investors, family businesses, private equity funds, venture capitalists, etc.

Our work begins in the first negotiations between parties, helping to structure the operation and draft the initial documents, and extends through the due diligence process and negotiation and formalization of the final agreements. We assist our clients in obtaining the necessary approvals to finalize the transaction, especially by CADE and regulatory agencies (such as ANEEL and ANATEL, among others). We also assist our clients in determining the tax burden resulting from the transaction.

Simply knowing the law is not enough to properly assist our clients. It is also important to understand the business at the core of the transaction, the market in which it is embedded, its characteristics, and issues faced (such as liabilities and contingencies that may hinder the closing of a transaction or reduce its value; client needs; and related areas, particularly accounting and financing aspects).
