Guilherme Tranquillini
Guilherme Tranquillini brings more than twenty years of experience in mergers and acquisitions, corporate law, private equity/venture capital, and corporate governance to some of the market’s most complex transactions. His practice spans buy-side and sell-side M&A, corporate reorganizations, private equity and venture capital deals, strategic divestitures, and the structuring of sophisticated shareholder and corporate arrangements, serving controlling and minority shareholders, investment funds, and C-level executives across public and privately held companies in Brazil and abroad.
Executive compensation is a further area of concentration: he structures equity-based long-term incentive arrangements, including stock option plans (SOPs), restricted stock units (RSUs), and phantom shares.
His transactional experience spans the franchising, technology, healthcare, agribusiness, and education sectors. Within franchising specifically, he advises both franchisors and franchisees on the negotiation of franchise and master franchise agreements, including in international contexts.
Recognized for the strategic handling of complex negotiations, he structures legal solutions that enable transactions, align interests, and unlock negotiation impasses — an approach grounded in technical sophistication, objectivity, and pragmatic business insight.
