Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘They were extremely creative in designing structures for the acquisition of a company listed on N1 of B3, thus bypassing the client's main issues, optimising the fiscal/tax structure on the seller's side, facilitating the path to building a transaction.'
  • ‘Roberto Pary and Ricardo Madrona stand out.'
  • ‘There was good faith and good intention to make the deal happen, without prejudice to the parties. The lawyer who handled this entire case was Danilo Mininel, standing out for concluding this entire transaction.'
