Legal Risk Analysis for Financial and Real Estate Transactions

Legal risk analysis is the most critical step before making significant decisions involving financial transactions, real estate deals, and investment operations.

Carrillo Advogados acts on a preventive and strategic basis to identify, assess, and mitigate legal risks that may compromise assets, cause financial losses, or result in future litigation.

Our objective is straightforward: to prevent poorly assessed decisions from leading to irreversible consequences.

What is legal risk analysis?

Legal risk analysis consists of a prior and strategic evaluation of all legal aspects involved in a transaction, contract, or investment before it is finalized.

This approach allows us to:

  • Identify hidden risks;

  • Anticipate legal issues;

  • Avoid nullities;

  • Prevent fraud;

  • Protect the client’s assets.

Making decisions without legal risk analysis means assuming unnecessary risks.

When is legal risk analysis essential?

Preventive legal analysis is strongly recommended before:

  • Purchasing or selling real estate;

  • Making significant financial investments;

  • Executing complex contracts;

  • Engaging in corporate or business transactions;

  • Capital contributions;

  • Deals involving third parties or intermediaries.

👉 The higher the value involved, the greater the level of legal caution required.

Key risks identified through legal risk analysis

Preventive legal assessment allows the identification of, among others:

  • Risks of transaction nullity;

  • Hidden asset and liability risks;

  • Structured fraud schemes;

  • Abusive or unlawful contractual clauses;

  • Liability for third-party debts;

  • Risks of future legal disputes;

  • Legal uncertainty surrounding the transaction.

Many financial losses do not arise from the transaction itself, but from the absence of prior legal analysis.

Legal risk analysis in real estate transactions

In real estate deals, legal risk analysis is essential to verify:

  • The regularity of the property’s land registry record;

  • The existence of liens or restrictions;

  • The validity of the chain of ownership;

  • Risks of fraud against creditors;

  • The legal compliance of the development;

  • The possibility of future legal challenges.

This analysis significantly reduces the risk of losing the real estate investment.

Legal risk analysis in financial transactions and investments

In financial operations and investments, legal risk analysis seeks to:

  • Assess the legality of the transaction;

  • Verify the responsibilities of the parties involved;

  • Identify contractual and regulatory risks;

  • Prevent fraud and abusive promises;

  • Protect the invested capital.

Prior analysis is essential for informed and secure decision-making.

Strategic and tailored legal approach

Each transaction has its own characteristics.
For this reason, legal risk analysis is conducted in a tailored and strategic manner, taking into account:

  • The client’s profile;

  • The amount involved;

  • The level of asset exposure;

  • The legal context of the transaction.

👉 There are no safe decisions without proper legal risk analysis.
