Mergers & Acquisitions
In a market economy, M&A transactions have a strategic value as an element of competition. Such transactions represent an alternative for companies seeking increases in market share or access to new markets, selling non-strategic assets, integrating production, internationalizing activities, increasing competitive advantages, reaching economies of scale, obtaining new capital, or benefiting from losses carry-forward. Different advantages may thus be obtained through M&A transactions.
MHM offers legal assistance in M&A transactions, by structuring the deal in the appropriate format to assure intended benefits are properly achieved (stock purchase, asset purchase, mergers, spin-offs, exchange of equity participations, leveraged buyouts and management buyouts, or joint-ventures).
MHM conducts all legal issues in the transactions: drafting and formalizing terms of a mandate, confidentiality letters, definition of the transaction strategy, definition of the purchase and sale structure and payment of the purchase price, tax issues, legal due diligence, contract drafting and closing and antitrust issues.
With experience in international transactions and global networking, we assist clients in corporate transactions whether in Brazil or abroad. MHM professionals have a track record in transactions related to different sectors of the economy.
A multidisciplinary professional group ensures an appropriate review of the corporate, tax, labor, financial, environmental, consumer, litigation and other relevant legal issues affecting transactions.
MHM’s broad corporate experience is an important element to facilitate transactions, reduce their costs and increase the chances of success. Such experience is fundamental when dealing with behavioral aspects of the process such as the relationship between buyer and seller and their respective consultants, aspects which may be determinant for the success of the transaction.
