Vallya

What Vallya does

Vallya is a Brazilian boutique advisory firm founded in 2011 and headquartered in São Paulo, with additional offices in Brasília (regulatory proximity) and Beijing (international expansion). The firm provides three integrated service lines: financial advisory (covering resource raising, concessions and PPPs, financial management, and technical studies/opinions), institutional and governmental advisory (covering political and regulatory risk analysis, stakeholder mapping, public policy monitoring, sectoral intelligence, and strategic communication), and international relations (covering cross-border expansion, partnership prospecting, and embassy/consulate relationship networks). Its core offering is the structuring, financing, and institutional positioning of infrastructure and regulated-asset projects — including concessions, PPPs, mergers and acquisitions, and capital raising through equity, debt, joint ventures, and securitization.

The firm is staffed by 11 Sócios (partners) and 3 consultants/associates (approximately 14+ professionals) described as multidisciplinary, multicultural, and multilingual, with particular specialization in infrastructure. Its core 'technology' consists of proprietary consulting methodologies for risk assessment, financial modeling, and project viability evaluation, supported by a proprietary database of decision-makers and opinion formers across Brazil's Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches, regulatory agencies, and civil society organizations. Vallya also publishes a daily 'Infraestrutura em Destaque' (Infrastructure in Focus) news bulletin covering Brazilian infrastructure developments.

Vallya's business model is pure professional services: project-based advisory fees, direct senior-partner-led engagement, multi-year contract cadences, and a boutique positioning that explicitly does not offer competing financial products. The go-to-market is sales-led, enterprise field sales, built on referrals, direct partner engagement, industry events, and content marketing through the news bulletin. Named clients span infrastructure (Acciona, Prumo, Tamoios, ConstruCap, Aterpa, Egis, Demax), logistics (Parana Projetos), manufacturing and equipment (Sany), energy (Landi), agriculture (Intercoop, gruposabor), healthcare (Inova Saúde), government (ICMBio), technology (Baidu), investment management (Confrapar), and aviation (Viracopos Airport). Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm is privately held with no external funding or parent company.

Broad incumbents

• Lazard: Global financial advisory firm with a strong infrastructure, M&A, and capital-raising practice. Comparable because it competes with Vallya for Brazilian project finance, concessions advisory, and capital raising mandates, but operates at a much larger scale with global reach.
• Bain & Company: Top-tier global management consulting firm with dedicated infrastructure and private equity practices. Comparable because it competes with Vallya for institutional and operational advisory engagements with major infrastructure clients and government-linked projects.
• EY-Parthenon: Strategy and transactions advisory arm of EY, with strong infrastructure and PPP practices. Comparable because it competes directly for project finance, concession structuring, and capital raising mandates in Brazilian and LATAM infrastructure markets.
• FTI Consulting: Global advisory firm with practices in corporate finance, restructuring, and public policy/government affairs. Comparable because it offers the same combination of financial advisory and government/institutional advisory services that Vallya provides, though with far broader geographic and sector coverage.
• McKinsey & Company: Global management consulting leader with infrastructure, public sector, and capital projects practices. Comparable because it offers institutional, operational, and strategic advisory across the same infrastructure and government client base that Vallya serves.
• Boston Consulting Group (BCG): Global management consulting firm with deep infrastructure, public sector, and energy practices. Comparable because it competes with Vallya for strategic advisory mandates with infrastructure corporates and government entities, with much larger scale and international footprint.
• Alvarez & Marsal: Global professional services firm specializing in restructuring, performance improvement, and infrastructure advisory. Comparable because of overlap in financial advisory, capital structure work, and infrastructure sector engagements, though with much broader service scope.

Direct peers

• The Brattle Group: Specialist consulting firm focused on economic regulation, antitrust, and infrastructure. Comparable because both firms combine economic/regulatory analysis with infrastructure project advisory and serve similar clients in regulated sectors and PPPs.

Regional players

• Mattos Filho: One of Brazil's largest law firms with a leading infrastructure, energy, and project finance practice. Comparable because it frequently advises on Brazilian concessions, PPPs, and infrastructure transactions, sometimes working alongside or competing with Vallya on the same mandates.
• Roland Berger: Global management consulting firm with strong presence in Latin America and infrastructure practice. Comparable because it competes with Vallya for strategic advisory in infrastructure and PPPs, with a similar boutique-to-mid-size consulting positioning in the LATAM market.
