About

Provided by TozziniFreire

The significantly heightened foreign investment in Brazil in recent years has made Corporate Law and Foreign Investment one of the most active practice groups in the firm and one of our main fields of specialization. We have extensive experience advising investors on various mechanisms to establish or increase their domestic market presence, and how best to take advantage of the dynamic growth and liberalization of the Brazilian economy and regional market integration.

We are leaders in Brazil’s M&A market involving closely- and publicly-held companies and also investment funds. The team members have solid experience in the preparation, review and negotiation of investment agreements, purchase and sale of shares and assets, incorporation of associations, joint ventures and strategic alliances in all market segments.
