INVESTORS ARE INCREASINGLY DEMANDING AND SELECTIVE, AND THE LEGAL AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK IS INCREASINGLY COMPLEX AND EXPANSIVE. TO RAISE FUNDS VIA THE CAPITAL MARKETS, COMPANIES NEED TO DEMONSTRATE GOOD ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES, IN ADDITION TO PLANNING AND CONTROL OF THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF A TRANSACTION. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO HAVE SPECIALIZED LEGAL ADVICE IN OPERATIONS OF HIGH COMPLEXITY, WITH A LONG HISTORY OF RELATIONSHIPS WITH REGULATORY AND SELF-REGULATORY AUTHORITIES AND WITH THE MAIN MARKET PARTICIPANTS.

Since its foundation, Machado Meyer has had a prominent role in the business area, having been a pioneer and leader in the structuring of capital market transactions in Brazil and abroad, even before the advent of the current legal regime of public stock offerings.
