Grupo Meridian M&A

El reto

Grupo Meridian sought to acquire a competitor operating across three Latin American markets. The deal faced complex regulatory environments, misaligned shareholder structures, and tight confidentiality requirements that demanded a highly coordinated legal strategy.

Nuestro enfoque

Betancur CS assembled a multidisciplinary team combining M&A law, tax structuring, and regulatory affairs. We conducted parallel due diligence across all three jurisdictions, structured a holding vehicle to optimize tax exposure, and managed antitrust filings in Colombia, Peru and Chile simultaneously.

Resultados

The acquisition closed in 14 weeks — 30% faster than industry average — at a final valuation 8% below initial asking price. Post-merger integration governance was designed and delivered as part of the engagement.
