In yet another strategic move for its clients, Nelson Wilians Advogados provided legal advice on structuring and raising funds in a pioneering and innovative operation. It involved the issue of a Real Estate Receivables Certificate (CRI) structured to finance the construction costs of a real estate development, with the possibility of tokenising the units. The firm played a strategic role in all stages of the operation, from the conception of the financing thesis to the structuring of the debt and its placement on the capital markets. The main work fronts included reviewing and negotiating contracts, supporting legal due diligence and monitoring the settlement of the operation, ensuring transparency and risk mitigation for investors and other parties involved.
“This operation represents a milestone for Nelson Wilians Advogados and for the capital markets in Brazil. We were honoured to act as legal advisors to the debtor in the issuance of an innovative CRI, structured to finance the cost of construction and with the possibility of tokenising the units. This is an example of how the legal profession can be strategic in making business viable, guaranteeing legal certainty and boosting economic development. The modernisation of the capital market brings new opportunities for companies and investors, and Nelson Wilians Advogados is at the forefront of this movement,” says Victor Hugo Moreira, managing partner of NWADV, Salvador branch.
For Fernando Cavalcanti, vice-president of NWADV, the operation reinforces the firm’s commitment to innovation and technical qualification. “This operation marks a breakthrough in the capital markets by combining financial innovation and legal certainty. The achievement is a direct reflection of our commitment to the technical development of our teams, through continuous investment in qualification programmes and learning tools, ensuring that our team is prepared for the new challenges of the Brazilian legal scene,” he says.
