1. M&A – Mergers and Acquisitions
VG Advogados advises on merger, consolidation, acquisition, and sale of companies with a technical, strategic, and personalized approach. We provide support from the initial structuring to the closing of the deal, including legal due diligence, contract drafting and negotiation, and corporate reorganizations.
Our experience allows us to identify risks, suggest solutions, and add legal certainty to both domestic and international transactions, involving companies of different sizes and industries. We always aim to align our clients' legal and economic interests with agility and efficiency.
In addition, we follow up on post-transaction developments, assisting with corporate integration, contractual adjustments, and regulatory matters, ensuring business continuity with legal security.
2. Corporate Law
We provide legal consulting and advisory services throughout all stages of corporate life – from formation to dissolution. We draft and review bylaws, shareholders’ agreements, minutes, and other corporate documents, with a focus on governance, dispute prevention, and strategic alignment among stakeholders.
We assist with corporate restructurings, business succession planning, partner entry and exit, and structuring of corporate groups. Our work combines solid legal expertise with business insight, delivering practical and secure solutions for family businesses, startups, and large corporations.
We also represent our clients in corporate disputes, shareholders’ meetings, arbitrations, and mediations, with a diligent approach tailored to the specific circumstances of each case.
3. Tax Advisory
VG Advogados offers strategic tax consulting focused on tax planning, legal interpretation, and risk mitigation. We analyze and structure business operations, corporate reorganizations, and investments from a tax perspective, always in accordance with current legislation and jurisprudence.
A key differentiator of our practice is the accounting expertise of the partner responsible for the area, which enables a deep understanding of the intersection between tax law and financial statements. This knowledge enhances communication with the company’s technical teams and supports the development of more precise and operationally viable tax solutions.
We assist companies in tax-related decision-making, evaluating tax regimes, incentives, and ancillary obligations. We also issue legal opinions, technical notes, and monitor legislative changes relevant to our clients’ businesses.
Our approach emphasizes dispute prevention and regulatory compliance, without compromising on tax efficiency and legal certainty.
4. Tax Litigation
We represent clients in tax disputes in both administrative and judicial courts at all levels, with a technical and strategic approach. Our work ranges from challenging tax assessments and defending against tax enforcement actions to filing tax lawsuits, such as writs of mandamus and annulment actions.
The VG Advogados team closely monitors case law from higher courts and administrative bodies such as CARF and State Tax Courts, providing solid and up-to-date legal arguments to defend our clients' interests.
Our focus is on reducing liabilities, recovering tax credits, and technically challenging tax assessments, through a personalized approach aligned with each client’s business strategy.
5. Compliance and Corporate Governance
We assist companies in implementing and improving compliance programs and corporate governance structures that promote integrity, transparency, and sustainability in business. Our services include drafting and reviewing codes of conduct, internal policies, whistleblowing channels, and training programs.
Our work involves assessing legal and reputational risks, structuring committees, setting up internal control routines, and supporting internal investigations. We also advise on compliance with laws such as the Anti-Corruption Law, the General Data Protection Law (LGPD), and sector-specific regulations.
More than just ensuring compliance, we offer a governance model that strengthens organizational culture and protects long-term business value.
