Corporate Restructuring & M&A
Mergers, acquisitions, demergers, joint ventures and spin-offs change the holder of licences, certificates and registrations. We plan that regulatory transition so the operation keeps running during and after the deal.

Common questions before you start.
How are registrations transferred in a merger, demerger or amalgamation?
The transfer is requested from ANVISA by the successor company, in corporate or commercial transactions, without any change to the product’s characteristics. The request is linked to each product’s file, which is why the inventory of registrations and notifications comes before the transaction.
Can the operation stop during the transition?
The purpose of the plan is that it does not: we map which licences, certificates and registrations change holder, the order of dependency between them and what must exist in the new company before each filing, to keep sales regular throughout the transition.
Do you also work with start-ups and joint ventures?
Yes. In a new company or a joint venture, regulatory planning defines in whose name the licences and registrations are kept, which authorizations must be obtained from scratch and how to sequence the steps without rework.

A restructuring on the radar?
Mapping licences and registrations comes before signing, while there is still time to plan the transition.
