Can you tell us more about your team and their roles during this transaction? Here at Dutra Gestão Empresarial, we are specialised both in assisting M&A transactions and mainly in assisting companies in preparing to persue an M&A transaction, from a business planning and management perspective. Our purpose is to inspire and drive the creation of virtuous businesses. In order to do that, we lead the strategic planning and participate in corporate governance structuring, financing and capital structuring. We have been working with Faxon since 2018 until we agreed the company was ready to take this next step, which led to concluding the transaction with Paques and the Skion group. Throughout the project we engaged with several teammates from different fields and they all contributed to our final result. We are part of Método Dutra, a work method that includes fellow firms in legal and accounting, among other fields. The Dutra Law Firm team, led by Dr Jonatan Werb, provided legal advice on the transaction, and Dutra Accounting, led by Sinara de Mello, advised as AN INTERVIEWWITH VINÍCIUS DUTRAAND TÁSSIAWARKENDAROSA Dutra Gestão Empresaria well. Our founder, Vinicius Dutra, also participated in negotiations. Because we have a very comprehensive team, we were able to provide complete assistance to Faxon in all steps of preparation and negotiations while also continuing to advise on post-merger integration. How were their skills and experience ideally suited to the task? The process of preparing a company to engage in an M&A transaction, when it is intended to bring tremendous growth opportunities to both parties, is often comprehensive in scope. We are not talking about just finding an investor and negotiating and signing an agreement, even if that is a large and very important part of the process. Here at Dutra, when we talk about preparing a company to make a virtuous transaction, we mean bringing in a whole team of experts from finance to legal, technology, communication, strategy, and so on. We work with the company to improve its business model and market positioning, to reach another level in control and governance, to be more efficient and to deliver better Finance Monthly.
