Corporate – Mergers and Acquisitions – Contracts

Our lawyers have experience in the negotiation and structuring of all types of contracts necessary to carry out the transactions required by the client. Our ability to not replicate, but rather frame the figures used in international practice to Peruvian law stands out. Regarding corporate and contractual matters, our practice includes different aspects of the operations, as well as the possible needs of the clients: advice, counseling, drafting, negotiation, closing, contractual administration, pre-arbitration handling of disputes, as well as arbitration of the matter.

Experience

Acquisitions, mergers and joint ventures have been important and strategic tools used by many companies and corporations worldwide. In Peru, there is an important practice in the use of these tools. Our clients can rely on our firm’s advice in connection with the most complex transactions of their companies. Our lawyers have been actively and successfully involved in several acquisitions and mergers in such a way that allows us to provide our clients with significant experience in this area.
The combined practice of our lawyers allows us to have an interesting experience that Miró Quesada & Miranda makes available to our clients. Some of the main transactions involve the cross-border acquisition of Cementos Polpaico (Chile) for US$ 100 million by Volcan, the acquisition of a real estate asset of Ceper for US$ 16 million by Aventura Plaza S.A., and mergers of companies in the framework of the reorganization of the corporate structure of the Brescia Group.
Recently, we participated in a major arbitration defending the seller of a concession company against the buyer for alleged breach of representations and warranties in the share purchase agreement.
