Luís Roquette Geraldes is a partner at the corporate and M&A department where he serves as head of Team Genesis and co-head of Private Equity.

Luís focuses on advising founders, high growth companies, and investors on transactional work in venture capital, private equity and M&A. Given the know-how amassed working in technology, life sciences and healthcare, Luís’s practice has become concentrated in IP-rich companies.

The work Team Genesis does with emerging companies typically spans the entire life cycle and is mostly cross-border. Helping high growth companies on an ongoing basis (notably when scaling internationally) is a considerable part of what Team Genesis was designed for.
