Legal & Tax
Due Diligence.

Revealing hidden risks and non-apparent liabilities to ensure the security and true valuation of your investment.

THE PROBLEM

The Asset You Buy,
the Liability You Inherit.

In any merger, acquisition, or capital injection, the apparent value of an asset can conceal a complex web of contingencies. Undisclosed tax liabilities, latent contractual disputes, regulatory compliance issues, and corporate skeletons can turn a promising investment into a significant loss.

In Brazil's complex business environment, what you don't know can — and frequently will — erode the value of your transaction.

OUR SOLUTION

A Complete X-Ray
of the Target Operation.

Our Due Diligence process is a deep and meticulous investigation that goes far beyond accounting analysis. We conduct a true legal and tax X-ray of the target company, mapping all active and potential contingencies.

The result is not a generic report, but a detailed risk map that allows the investor to make an informed decision: proceed with the transaction, renegotiate the price, demand guarantees, or, in extreme cases, walk away from a bad deal before it is finalized.

METHODOLOGY

Comprehensive Investigation
of Critical Areas.

Tax Analysis

Review of federal, state, and municipal tax calculations and payments over the past five years, identifying liabilities and credit opportunities.

Corporate Review

Analysis of articles of incorporation, shareholder agreements, corporate records, and capital structure to identify irregularities or restrictions.

Contract Audit

Review of key contracts with clients, suppliers, and partners in search of risk clauses, penalties, and onerous obligations.

Regulatory & Employment Compliance

Analysis of the company's compliance with the regulatory standards of its sector and with employment legislation, identifying potential litigation.

BINATIONAL DIFFERENTIATOR

The Added Complexity
of Brazil-U.S. Analysis.

When a transaction involves entities in both Brazil and the United States, due diligence takes on a significantly greater degree of complexity. Our binational expertise allows us to assess not only the risks existing in each jurisdiction in isolation, but above all, those that emerge from the interaction between the two legal and tax systems.

Aspects such as transfer pricing and taxation of foreign profits (CFC rules) are analyzed, as well as the legal robustness of transnational structures, through an integrated approach that reflects the combined regulatory reality of Brazil and the U.S.

Cross-Border Specific Risks Identified:

Transfer Pricing
CFC Rules
Tax Treaties
Transnational Structures
