Mergers & Acquisitions
M&A transactions have become increasingly complex, challenging and sophisticated, demanding not only highly specialized technical skills, but also experience, full dedication, availability and integration of a variety of professionals with different expertise for each deal. We rely on a team of lawyers in the tax, regulatory and antitrust areas, among others, who provide full support to the attorneys in charge of the transactions handled by us.
The knowledge amassed over almost 80 years of existence of Pinheiro Neto, our history of successfully completed transactions, the quality of our professionals recognized by several rankings, as well as our clients’ satisfaction, demonstrate how much we can contribute for a M&A transaction to be well conducted and effectively completed by the stakeholders, even in competitive processes.
Corporate
We have a recognized expertise in negotiating and advising our clients on complex corporate issues, corporate governance rules, drafting of corporate documents, and attendance at general meetings, partners' meetings, and board of directors’ meetings.
We prepare and negotiate shareholders' agreements and partners' agreements, subscription agreements, investment agreements, put and call option agreements, tag along, drag along processes and the like, and such other agreements as may be necessary to regulate corporate relations. We also excel in handling corporate disputes, whether arbitral or judicial proceedings.
