For companies, funds and investors

Legal strategy for tax liabilities and judicial asset portfolios.

For companies, we structure solutions for tax liabilities. For funds, FIDCs and investors, we conduct diligence and legal portfolio management through collection.

From liabilities to portfolios: legal decisions treated as financial decisions.

Funds, FIDCs and investors

Legal management of precatório portfolios, from due diligence through collection.

Galvez Valencio monitors the litigation and events affecting each claim, organizing risks, pending matters and next steps into a consolidated legal view of the portfolio.

Precatórios are court-ordered payment obligations of Brazilian government entities, arising from final, unappealable judgments. They are paid by the debtor entity under constitutional rules and chronological queues — which is why legal analysis of each claim, its chain of title and its position drives the entire lifecycle below.

Due diligence informs the acquisition and determines what enters the portfolio. Legal management moves each claim through the path required for collection by the fund.

Legal information organized for those making decisions

Management is more than monitoring a docket. Each event is read for the impact it produces on the claim and on the portfolio as a whole.

Individual and consolidated position
Monitoring of each claim and an integrated portfolio view, including status, history, pending matters and relevant next actions.
Title and court recognition
Control of the assignment chain, substitution of the assignee, successions and issues that may compromise asset availability.
Incidents and irregularities
Identification, assessment and prioritization of procedural, documentary or registry issues requiring action.
Settlements, payments and collections
Management of the claim’s final events and measures required until proceeds are effectively available to the fund.
Executive reporting
Legal consolidation enabling administrators, managers and other advisors to monitor risks, progress and pending decisions.

Tax liabilities treated as a legal and financial decision

Our work starts from the composition of the liability, available cash and legally applicable alternatives to structure an executable solution.

Tax settlement

Legal design of federal and state settlements, including eligibility, discounts, terms, collateral and ability to pay.

Offset with precatórios

Assessment and structuring of precatórios to offset negotiated debts, subject to the requirements of each program.

Implementation and engagement

Document preparation, filings, responses to requirements and engagement with the relevant authorities through implementation.

The work does not end with an opinion or a signature

Caroline Galvez and Gabriela Valencio personally lead the strategy, structuring and critical execution points of each portfolio or transaction, maintaining direct client engagement throughout the mandate.

Engagement with courts, government entities, counterparties, administrators, managers and other advisors combines legal judgment, operational command and an understanding of the mandate’s economic objective.
