FLIR Systems, Inc., a renowned company specializing in innovative sensing technologies, was looking for expansion and efficiency. The company encountered a peculiar challenge on its journey: the acquisition of a warehouse adjacent to its headquarters in Sorocaba. The property, however, was at the center of a complicated legal dispute, involving Banco Bradesco, the former owner and the buyer at auction, who did not have possession. Given the complexity of the scenario, FLIR Systems needed a solution.
The warehouse, initially seized and auctioned by Banco Bradesco, became the scene of a legal battle. The former owner, in possession of the property, filed a lawsuit against the bank, while the auction buyer was prevented from exercising possession. The lack of agreement on values and forms of negotiation made the situation even more challenging.
Success in negotiations
Our team entered the scene as a key player in unraveling this complicated real estate board. Conducting numerous meetings and negotiations, we were decisive in the successful outcome of the transaction. By overcoming divergences in values and aligning sellers’ interests, we not only achieve the established financial goal, but also harmonize the parties involved.
Faced with the challenge of acquiring an industrial property amid an intricate legal scenario, FLIR Systems found a strategic partner in Ocupantes.
