The strategic alliance between KUNZ Attorneys at Law and Pinheiro Machado Sociedade de Advogados relates to the excellent advisory services offered by both law firms in business and corporate law with regard to investments and ongoing support in both countries. Due to the international orientation of both law firms, many joint projects are expected to arise. The main areas to start the formalized cooperation are international dispute resolution, cross-border M&A transactions, private equity, capital markets, regulatory issues and compliance.
Pinheiro Machado also has a focus on technology and AI competencies. Curitiba is located near Sao Paulo and has a leading role in the field of innovation in Latin America through its "Pine Seed Valley" cluster - the regional version of Silicon Valley.
Dr. Hermann J. Knott, Partner for International Expansion at KUNZ, sees great prospects for success for the cooperation: "We are very pleased about the collaboration. Pinheiro Machado's practice is focused on growth sectors such as green energy, agribusiness and commodities and offers excellent opportunities for foreign investors. The team is internationally experienced. German companies have always shown strong interest in investing in South America's largest economy. ”
Dr. Paulo Fernando Pinheiro Machado, Partner at Pinheiro Machado Advogados, added: "We have come to know KUNZ as an experienced and established partner in our previous cooperation and recognize great potential in strengthening the collaboration. The high-quality client service and the possibility to work together on cross-border projects are an excellent basis for intensifying the cooperation. Our clients have access to resources in Germany and also in the EU as a whole. This also includes the capital markets and other forms of financing."
