Conyers acted as Special Bermuda Counsel to International Meal Company Holdings Ltd., a Bermuda holding company with Brazilian, Mexican and Carribean retail food concessions and multi-brand casual dining chains, in completing a significant private equity investment transaction of US$100 million. Majority owner Advent Funds, a US private equity firm, participated in the new investment, along with two new private equity investors, including an investment manager for public sector clients in British Columbia, Canada and a global investment management company based in Asia.

Conyers worked alongside Mattos Filho, who provided Brazilian legal counsel in the transaction.
