Brazil's real estate market operates with stacked layers of complexity — fragile title records, zoning disputes, latent environmental liabilities and sophisticated financing structures that demand simultaneous fluency in civil, environmental and tax law as well as capital markets. FIUS brings that integrated view together in a single team.
We run portfolio due diligence for funds and developers, mapping registry, environmental and tax contingencies using a structured methodology. We advise on build-to-suit transactions for major corporate users, sale-leaseback structures and CRI issuances (real estate receivables certificates) backed by development receivables. On master-planning and land-subdivision projects, we manage the interface with municipalities, registry offices and environmental agencies.
In litigation, we represent developers in mass contract-termination actions, REITs in disputes with strategic tenants, and owners in expropriations where indemnity value is at stake. We know the sector — and that matters when the deadline is yesterday.
