Perguntas Frequentes

Esclareça as principais dúvidas sobre nossos processos, metodologia e atuação técnica.

Is due diligence mandatory in every M&A transaction in Brazil?expand_more

While not strictly dictated by general corporate statute, due diligence is practically universal in middle and large-scale corporate transactions to establish indemnities, price adjustments, and escrow clauses.

Who typically hires due diligence — buyer or seller?expand_more

Primarily the buyer (buy-side due diligence). However, forward-thinking sellers frequently commission vendor due diligence (sell-side) to identify and rectify liabilities beforehand, accelerating negotiations.

What happens when a material liability is identified during due diligence?expand_more

Findings are quantified in terms of probability and economic impact, enabling purchase price adjustments, specific indemnity guarantees, or deal restructuring.

Does family business succession require an M&A-style process?expand_more

Yes. Succession planning involves equity valuations, spin-offs (cisões), and shareholder agreements that require the same accounting and tax safeguards as third-party M&A transactions.
