VBSO Advogados

VBSO Advogados’ M&A offering is especially concentrated on clients in the financial services, banking and asset management sectors, where the team is adept at handling middle-market M&A – on the buyer and seller sides – as well as joint ventures and corporate reorganisations. The ‘dynamic and competent team’ is particularly noted for its capabilities in multiparty corporate negotiations, and transactions with regulatory implications or requiring regulatory clearance. Founding partner Erik Oioli, who specialises in corporate law and governance issues, is seen with great regularity advising on the structuring of strategic alliances, joint ventures and business combinations. With extensive experience in M&A and other corporate transactions, Amanda Visentini Rodrigues also advises on private equity investments and corporate governance. Renata Simon, who joined from Candido Martins Advogados in January 2023, boosted the firm’s M&A offering. The group was further strengthened by the arrival of Rodrigo Felli Paes Barros from Lefosse Advogados in June 2022; Barros and Beatriz Soares Locoselli are both highlighted for their ’very sharp business vision and profound knowledge of the complex Brazilian legal environment’.
