Finance and Capital Markets
Our firm plays an important role in innovative, complex transactions in the capital markets
With our keen focus on developments in the capital markets, we have achieved recognition for our legal work in important IPOs and a growing volume of debt and securitization transactions, acting both for issuers and for the investment banks that coordinate their offerings.
With decades of experience behind us, and the active involvement of our partners at every phase, we possess the knowledge and skills needed to resolve the many – and sometimes unpredictable – issues that can arise in the course of an offering. Composed of attorneys that have a mix of national and international training and experience, our team has expertise and agility, forming a multidisciplinary workforce that generates efficient ways of solving complex problems.
In-depth knowledge of the legislation and regulations applicable to issuers and their transactions means that we can take advantage of advances in the market to find new ways to meet challenges, ensure that clients achieve their funding objectives, and contribute to debate over the new perspectives for the sector.
Our team acts in:
Public offerings: Acting for both issuers and investment banks in the national and international markets, we do award-winning work in public and private offerings of shares, debentures, promissory notes, unites, ADRs, BDRs, commercial paper, bonds and notes.
Debt transactions: We advise financial institutions, multilateral agencies, publicly- and closely-held companies, funds and other clients in structuring all types of financing, from loans and syndicated loans to bills, hybrid debt and equity instruments, perpetual debt and subordinated debt, structured financing and debt restructuring.
Tender offers: We assist publicly-traded companies in sales of control, going private transactions, and offers to acquire shares traded in the market, and in meeting their regulatory obligations.
Securitization: We provide legal support for securitization of receivables in all economic sectors, assisting clients in structuring the whole range of investment funds, such as equity funds (FIPs), receivables funds (FIDCs) and real estate funds (FIIs), and in issuing agribusiness receivables certificates (CRAs) and real estate receivables certificates (CRIs).
Regulatory advice: We are known for our expertise in the regulations governing the financial and capital markets, especially the rules issued by the National Monetary Council (CMN), the Central Bank of Brazil (Bacen) and the Brazilian securities commission, the CVM. We advise listed companies, financial institutions, asset managers and other players in complex transactions to come into compliance with the rules issued by regulatory agencies and self-regulatory bodies.
