Mergers & Acquisitions

We have a leading mergers and acquisitions practice, advising local and international buyers and sellers on asset and share transactions across various industries in Latin America.

Our clients not only value our technical knowledge and outstanding execution capabilities but also praise our lawyers for their practical and creative approach to addressing complex situations in a transactional context.

Our client base ranges from international publicly traded companies to private equity funds, privately held companies, and family businesses. This unique combination enables us to understand the full spectrum of complex issues that may arise in a particular transaction.

Our services include transaction planning and structuring, tax planning, drafting and negotiating preliminary documents, organizing auctions, setting up and managing virtual data rooms for legal due diligence, drafting and negotiating share purchase or asset transfer agreements, developing pricing structures based on business performance, and preparing ancillary agreements such as shareholders’ agreements and put and call options, management agreements, documents establishing security arrangements to guarantee payment of the purchase price, escrow agreements, and any other documents required to successfully close the transaction.

Recognizing that there is no single approach to mergers and acquisitions, we assemble teams tailored to each transaction.

Throughout every stage of the process, we work closely with the client and their financial advisor to achieve a successful and efficient closing.

When necessary, we also make filings with government agencies, including competition authorities and other regulatory bodies.

Following completion of the transaction, when we have advised the buyer, we continue assisting the client with all legal matters critical to facilitating the transition and the takeover of the business.
