Uncovering hidden risks and non-apparent liabilities to ensure the security and true valuation of your investment.
In any merger, acquisition, or capital injection operation, the apparent value of an asset can conceal a complex network of contingencies. Undisclosed tax liabilities, latent contractual disputes, regulatory compliance issues, and corporate skeletons can turn a promising investment into a significant loss.
In the complex Brazilian business environment, what you don't know can—and frequently will—erode the value of your transaction.
Our Due Diligence process is a deep and meticulous investigation that goes far beyond accounting analysis. We conduct a true legal and tax X-ray of the target company, mapping all active and potential contingencies.
The result is not a generic report, but a detailed risk map that enables investors to make an informed decision: proceed with the transaction, renegotiate the price, demand guarantees, or, in extreme cases, walk away from a bad deal before it is finalized.

Report
Review of federal, state, and municipal tax calculations and payments from the last five years, identifying liabilities and credit opportunities.
Analysis of articles of incorporation, shareholders' agreements, corporate ledgers, and capital structure to identify irregularities or restrictions.
Verification of key agreements with clients, suppliers, and partners in search of risk clauses, penalties, and burdensome obligations.
Analysis of the company's compliance with sector-specific regulatory standards and labor legislation, identifying potential litigation.
When a transaction involves entities in Brazil and the United States, due diligence takes on a significantly higher degree of complexity. Our binational expertise allows us to evaluate not only the existing risks within each jurisdiction in isolation, but above all, those that emerge from the interaction between the two legal and tax systems.
Aspects such as transfer pricing, foreign profit taxation (CFC rules), and the legal robustness of transnational structures are analyzed through an integrated approach reflecting the combined regulatory reality of Brazil and the US.
Our Due Diligence service is essential for anyone making significant investment decisions.
