Two firms advise on the Crédito Universitário (FIDC) issue

FreitasLeite Advogados and Souto Correa Advogados advised on the public offering of quotas of the Crédito Universitário Receivables Investment Fund – Limited Liability (FIDC). The offering was registered under CVM Resolution No. 160 (ordinary registration route) and raised BRL 468 million.
