This is one of our main practice areas. We act for companies that need to restructure their debts and for creditors seeking to protect their claims, in Brazilian judicial and out-of-court reorganisation and bankruptcy proceedings.

Typical matters

Assessing the crisis and choosing the route: direct negotiation, out-of-court or judicial reorganisation.
Filing for judicial reorganisation, preparing the plan and negotiating with creditors.
Acting for creditors: filing and challenging claims, objecting to the plan and representation at creditors’ meetings.
Bankruptcy, including creditor representation and asset tracing.
Insolvency proceedings and the Special Revitalisation Process (PER) in Portugal.

How we work

Every matter is handled directly by one of the partners, both admitted to the Brazilian and Portuguese Bars. After the first conversation, we send a written proposal setting out scope, stages and fees. Contact us.
