Machado Meyer Advogados advised Softplan SA and its shareholders on the signing of a share acquisition and subscription agreement with General Atlantic, a global investment manager. The transaction involves primary and secondary contributions, consolidating General Atlantic as a significant minority shareholder in Softplan.
The investment focuses on Softplan's software unit, Starian, which targets private clients. The business strategy is based on creating vertically integrated and specialized software ecosystems that offer complementary solutions with integrated management.
The proceeds from the primary investment will be allocated to strengthening existing solutions in the Construction Industry, Legal Intelligence, and Operational Efficiency segments. Additionally, part of the capital will be allocated to accelerating Starian's M&A strategy, expanding its presence in new high-potential markets.
The Machado Meyer team responsible for the advisory was led by partners Gustavo Rugani do Couto e Silva and Elie Jaques Sherique, with the participation of partner Fernando Colucci and lawyers Mariana Miranda Perecin, Wagner Eustaquio Duarte Junior and Pedro Henrique Resende Pedroso.
