Legale Overseas, no. 952.
The first half of 2025 showed clear signs of a rebound in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in Brazil’s technology sector. After a period marked by adjustments and caution, the market has started to move again—this time under stricter criteria. The euphoria of large investment rounds has given way to an environment in which buyers prioritize businesses with solid fundamentals, structured governance, and sustainable growth prospects.
This new phase is driven by several factors: the prominence of fintechs and software companies, growing interest in AI-based solutions, and the consolidation of cybersecurity as a strategic area. There is also greater diversity among buyers, with new players entering the market and a reduction in the concentration of investors who previously dominated these transactions.
In practice, this means that companies seeking liquidity or a strategic partner need to prepare in advance. Due diligence processes have become more rigorous, with financial history, corporate compliance, and regulatory alignment increasingly central to negotiations. For investors, the current environment requires a focus on assets capable of generating real synergies—not just promises of accelerated growth.
The companies most affected by this scenario are expanding startups and established firms looking to leverage M&A as a way to accelerate innovation and enhance competitiveness. Smaller acquisitions, valued at up to BRL 100 million, continue to predominate, reflecting a market that remains selective but receptive to well-structured deals.
Vaz de Almeida Advogados closely monitors this trend and has extensive experience advising on corporate transactions, combining strategic insight and legal security at every stage—from initial negotiations to post-closing integration.
