Capital Markets

The sophistication of the Brazilian capital markets combines growing financing and investment opportunities with constantly evolving regulatory challenges.

We assist all the agents of this ecosystem in developing safe and efficient legal solutions for a market that demands technical expertise, clarity, and strategic vision.

Our practice is structured into three complementary areas:

  • Regulatory

Our team provides strategic advice to publicly held companies, financial institutions, fund administrators and managers, investors, and other market participants on regulatory matters related to the capital markets. We also assist clients in meeting regulatory requirements and interacting with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) and other regulators, and represent them in administrative proceedings, including those involving sanctions.

  • Transactional

We advise issuers and underwriters on securities offerings, including shares, debentures, commercial papers, investment fund units, securitisation instruments (such as CRIs and CRAs), and BDR/ADR programs for both Brazilian and foreign companies. Our work covers all stages of the transaction, from deal structuring to legal, governance, documentation implementation, and interactions with the CVM, B3, other intermediaries, and investors.

  • Dispute resolution and crisis management

We assist various market participants in protecting their interests in crisis and disputes related to the capital markets. We represent clients in sanctioning, judicial, and arbitration proceedings involving liability claims or issues connected to their activities. Our work also has a preventive focus, supporting the implementation or enhancement of corporate governance and compliance mechanisms to mitigate risks and potential liabilities.

We connect law to business dynamics and help our clients navigate safely between opportunities and risks, turning regulatory complexity into tangible results.
