CMS has signed a cooperation agreement with Brazilian law firm Focaccia, Amaral e Lamonica Advogados (FAS Advogados), one of the fastest growing law firms in Brazil.
“FAS has been working actively with CMS in Brazil and other jurisdictions for more than four years,” said Pierre Sébastien Thill, CMS Chairman. “Their strong position within the Brazilian legal and business communities as well as their international mindset make them a good strategic fit for CMS as we strengthen our foothold in key markets around the world.”
FAS is a full-service Brazilian law firm with 11 partners and more than 120 professionals. FAS has expertise in M&A, tax, banking and other corporate practices such as employment and pensions, data protection, insurance, commercial agreements and real estate that are of interest to foreign investors in Brazil and are all areas of strong synergy with CMS.
Sectors that provide opportunities for cross-border advisory and transaction work for both firms include renewables, infrastructure, technology, consumer products, life sciences and healthcare, manufacturing, automotive and agriculture (agribusiness).
CMS is now one of the largest international firms in Latin America, with a presence in five of the top six economies (Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru).
