Ferrere counsels Cargill on sale of shares to CAPSA

Ferrere has counselled Cargill Bolivia on the sale of all the shares it held in the local company, Aguirre Agro Bolivia (AABSA), owner of a river port used mainly for grain exports, to Central Aguirre Portuaria (CAPSA).

The advice included the negotiation of the share purchase agreements, the drafting of the various transaction documents for the transfer of the sale, advice on the tax aspects relevant to the transaction, as well as the removal of the company’s directors appointed by Cargill.

Cargill has a significant grain and oilseed trading operation in Bolivia.

Ferrere’s team included partner Diego Villarroel Salvatierra (pictured), and lawyers Pablo Heredia and José Rivero.
