We deeply understand our client`s businesses, focusing on their needs, perceiving and helping them assess, assume and deal with risks during an offer and executing their strategies.
FM/Derraik was born from a meeting of professionals at a request of a mutual client: a capital company was looking for legal advisors to guide in one of the most mature innovation journeys in the Brazilian market. The client asked that lawyers from different firms work side by side on the same project.
FM/Derraik partners, then in their respective firms, were treading very close ways until this intersection - created by the client, made clear the complementarity of their profiles and the synergy of this union: the coexistence of innovation with experience. The harmonization of creativity with pragmatism and the constant search for sophistication with legal depth.
“FM/Derraik`s partners are the reference lawyers in Brazilian Venture Capital. Their participation in transactions is always the certainty of seniority, long-term vision, and constructive negotiation for everyone involved in the transaction.”
FM/Derraik is a highly effective law firm with experienced lawyers dedicated to finding solutions to their client`s legal challenges.
“The FM/Derraik team is extremely competent. They attend all legal demands arising from the endeavor activity, which in Brazil is not for amateurs. I count on them, both in my daily life and in the strategic and fundraising part. In addition, they are well engaged in the ecosystem.”
