Corporate and M&A Disputes

Our team is highly specialized in corporate disputes and disputes arising from company and stake acquisitions. This enables us to offer clients comprehensive, sophisticated, efficient and innovative legal advice from the early stages of disputes.

We participate in a wide range of major corporate disputes, advising majority and minority shareholders, boards of directors, and the companies affected by the disputes. Our work in this field involves defining the global strategy to be adopted in disputes, advising on preparing and holding general shareholders meetings and boards of directors meetings, as well as advising on court and arbitration proceedings challenging corporate resolutions.

We also advise on the withdrawal and removal of shareholders, corporate liquidation and dissolution, directors' liability and disputes arising from shareholders agreements. When necessary, we work with lawyers from other areas, such as criminal law and tax, to guarantee comprehensive and coordinated legal advice for our clients.

We are also highly specialized in defending our clients in all types of claims arising from M&A transactions, company and stake acquisitions, particularly disputes arising from joint venture, private equity and venture capital transactions. We provide defense both in initial contractual liability claims processes and in contractual dispute resolution processes (expert or third-party involvement, negotiation and mediation), as well as in the subsequent court or arbitration proceedings. We have participated in several lawsuits over breakdown of negotiations, price determination and adjustments, variable prices, representations and warranties, drag-along and tag-along rights, and non-compete and non-solicitation clauses.

Our commercial litigation practice also stands out for advising on disputes arising from the sale of goods, machines and equipment; manufacturing, supply, transport, distribution, agency and franchise contracts; provision of services contracts; and unfair competition disputes.

Our lawyers combine legal, economic (financial and accounting) and business knowledge with experience in leading and coordinating multijurisdictional disputes.
