Grant Thornton Advisors Expands Multinational Platform with Acquisition of Grant Thornton Brazil

Simpson Thacher represented Grant Thornton Advisors LLC in connection with the pending acquisition of Grant Thornton Brazil. The transaction will extend Grant Thornton Advisors' multinational platform into Latin America’s largest market. It is expected to close later this year and follows recent transactions that will add Grant Thornton New Zealand and Grant Thornton Poland to the platform. Together, these additions will expand the integrated cross-border footprint to include 16 firms spanning 20 time zones.

The platform currently includes Grant Thornton firms in the United States, Ireland, France, the United Arab Emirates, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, the Channel Islands and the Cayman Islands, and it has announced transactions involving Grant Thornton firms in Spain, Luxembourg, New Zealand and Poland. The platform has also added specialist firms serving strategic markets and industries, including Auxis and Stax. Simpson Thacher has represented Grant Thornton Advisors in connection with each of these transactions. Simpson Thacher represented Grant Thornton Advisors LLC with a team composed by: Grenfel S. Calheiros, Ben Schaye, Daisy Wu, Luiz F. Noronha, Isabel de Carvalho, Susan Uquillas, Isaac Cattan, Isabela C.
