Cross-border transactions usually bring additional complexity to the negotiations, as most of time the parties involved are not aware of the applicable local legislation, practices and culture. These transactions require a careful planning and analysis to bring safety to the parties and to minimize risks.
Whenever we advise foreign investors in investments in Brazil, we take special care that our clients understand the issues that are specific to this country, such as risks related to the applicable tax legislation and any regulatory, labor and environmental matters.
While advising local clients receiving foreign investment or investing abroad, in addition to our advice on the compliance with Brazilian legislation in these transactions, we also contribute with our experience and expertise in the understanding of the needs of both investors and investees and in the communication with foreign parties and their advisors.
We also advise foreign clients in the incorporation of companies in Brazil, as well as, in the assessment, on a case by case basis, of the most adequate corporate structure for these investments from a Brazilian point of view, we pay attention to all legal aspects involved, especially the tax and corporate ones and the applicable regulation of the Central Bank of Brazil.
