GVM | Guimarães & Vieira de Mello Advogados assisted the original shareholders, including Garan Ventures, of Estuda.com, in the Investment Contribution process carried out by FTD Educação S.A., the maintaining institution of the Marista Education Network in São Paulo and the Southern Region of Brazil.

GVM Advogados has been selected, following all applicable hiring procedures, to provide legal technical services to CODEMGE. This selection is based on the office’s renowned expertise and recognition in the areas of M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions), Capital Markets, and Privatizations. The purpose is to fully structure a model for the operational desestatization (privatization) to be applied to CODEMGE’s Investment Funds and Projects. This involves a thorough evaluation and analysis of these assets with the aim of providing comprehensive insights to the company’s administrators regarding the feasibility of divestments.

In this context, the law firm will assess possibilities, timing appropriateness, risks, penalties, costs, and deadlines involved in each applicable privatization/desestatization model for the specific case. The objective is to determine the most efficient operational model for the implementation of the desestatization policy to be carried out by CODEMGE. The law firm will also provide advisory services for the implementation of the chosen model in relation to the Investment Funds regulated by CVM (Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission) and for the Projects specified in the Reference Term for hiring, valued at over R$600 million.

Therefore, GVM Advogados will operate in the areas of Corporate, Administrative, Civil, and Regulatory Law (CVM/Capital Market) to assess the feasibility – or lack thereof – of CODEMGE proceeding with divestments in the aforementioned Projects and Investment Funds. If legally feasible, the law firm will recommend the most efficient operational model, outlining preliminary steps, risks, penalties, costs, deadlines, and providing assistance and monitoring during the implementation of the indicated divestment model.
