Due Diligence. Valuation. Structuring. Execution.
Acquiring or merging with a company in Ecuador requires navigating a complex legal, tax, and regulatory landscape. Hidden liabilities, unclear ownership chains, and non-compliant corporate structures can turn a promising deal into a liability.
We eliminate that risk before you commit capital.
We conduct full legal due diligence — corporate, tax, labor, and regulatory — and deliver a clear risk map before any agreement is signed. We then structure the transaction to minimize exposure and protect your investment under Ecuadorian law.
From letter of intent to closing, we manage every legal step: SPA drafting, regulatory filings, notarial process, and post-closing compliance.
From acquisition targets in manufacturing and services to full corporate mergers — we have structured transactions for buyers from the US, Europe, Colombia, Peru, and Asia.
We review the acquisition target's legal and corporate standing, identify red flags, and advise on transaction viability before you engage.
We conduct a comprehensive legal, tax, and regulatory audit of the target company, delivering a structured risk report with clear recommendations.
We design the optimal acquisition structure — share purchase, asset purchase, or merger — aligned with your cross-border tax and liability objectives.
We draft and negotiate all transaction documents: SPA, representations & warranties, closing conditions, and ancillary agreements.
We execute all notarial processes, regulatory filings, and government registrations to transfer legal ownership cleanly and completely.
We remain as your legal counsel through integration, corporate governance, and ongoing compliance — protecting the investment you just made.
Transaction closed. Ownership secured. Ongoing legal representation from day one.
