Rothschild & Co — Multi-Year M&A Advisory, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro
Seven years of documented mandates — and a referral that turned into a business hub in Spanish.
▶ QUICK SUMMARY
Rothschild & Co is the world's largest independent M&A advisor by number of transactions. Its Brazil office covers São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, with mandates documented from December 2018 through January 2026 — including a Spanish interpreter referral to Rio de Janeiro that expanded lingo's contact network, and a recent proposal for Exa Capital through the same contact, Henrique Sarto.
The context
Rothschild & Co is the world's largest independent M&A advisor by number of transactions. Its Brazil office covers São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro — and deals with a Spanish or Latin American counterparty require the Spanish-Portuguese pair, beyond the English-Portuguese that's standard in most mandates.
The relationship is documented since December 2018, when lingo referred a Spanish interpreter for an event in Rio de Janeiro — a one-off mandate that became the entry point for a years-long relationship.
Subsequent mandates: May 2019 (with a 5% discount), August 2023, March 2021 (three consecutive daily sessions — March 25, 26 and 29), and July 2025 (Ref. 223875/223876, paid late). In January 2026, a new proposal also came in for Exa Capital, through the same Rothschild contact, Henrique Sarto — another example of the cross-referral pattern connecting lingo's documented cases.
