Legal, regulatory, and tax architecture for investment vehicles that connect international capital to opportunities in Brazil and the United States.
A consistent investment thesis alone is not enough to attract institutional capital. Qualified investors — especially in the US market — demand fund structures that are transparent, legally sound, compliant with SEC rules, and tax-efficient.
When the strategy involves allocating capital in Brazil, the complexity intensifies. The fund organization must simultaneously meet the requirements of the CVM, the IRS, and the tax rules applicable to international operations. An inadequate architecture can compromise fundraising or significantly impact returns due to unforeseen tax effects.
Qualified capital requiring robust and transparent structures.
Appropriate legal, regulatory, and tax architecture.
Investment opportunities in Brazil and the United States.
Our practice focuses on the legal, regulatory, and tax structuring of the fund, based on an integrated analysis of the investment thesis, the profile of the investors, and the nature of the underlying assets.
We define the most appropriate architecture for each strategy, whether through a private equity fund in Brazil connected to an international fundraising structure, or through a venture capital fund incorporated abroad with operational grounds in Brazil. Each structural decision is guided by criteria of tax efficiency, governance clarity, and regulatory compliance in the jurisdictions involved.
The result is an institutionally robust, legally consistent structure prepared to engage with sophisticated investors and regulatory authorities in both countries.
Defining the legal, regulatory, and tax architecture best suited to the fund, considering the investment strategy, investor profile, and jurisdictions involved.
Drafting and comprehensive review of the legal instruments governing the fund and its relationship with investors, ensuring clarity, consistency, and regulatory adherence.
Evaluating the tax impacts of the structure for the fund and investors of different nationalities, including the application of international treaties and double taxation mitigation mechanisms.
Technical coordination with legally authorized professionals to ensure proper regulatory classification and the obtention of required registrations and exemptions in applicable jurisdictions.
Structuring a fund with transnational operations requires a precise balance between CVM regulations, rules applicable in the US regulatory environment, and tax regimes incident on international operations.
Our work stems from an integrated understanding of these systems and how they interact with one another. We structure funds capable of properly qualifying for available regulatory exemptions, maintaining regulatory compliance and tax efficiency, while avoiding undue overlapping of taxes throughout the investment chain.
