With a view to providing legal certainty and innovation to a highly regulated market, we navigate through complex rules to assist clients in properly understanding banking and payment regulations.

On the transactional front, we advise our clients on merger and acquisition transactions involving regulated entities, structured financial transactions, securitization, derivatives, trade finance, and debt restructuring. We also have an extensive experience in the incorporation of financial institutions and payment institutions before the Central Bank and in the development of new financial products and solutions.

We are leaders on the Brazilian legal market in advising financial institutions and payment institutions, and have an extensive experience in groundbreaking cases that helped to form the banking and payment sector in Brazil, combining in-depth regulatory knowledge and transactional experience.

We have also led the main discussions with the market and regulatory bodies that resulted in the regulatory framework applicable to fintechs, instant payments and open banking.
