Bankruptcy/Restructuring

About

Provided by BMA – Barbosa, Müssnich, Aragão

Our team has extensive experience in business insolvencies and special situations, representing debtors, shareholders, creditors and investors from Brazil and other countries in litigation, advisory matters, and restructuring negotiations.

We act both in strictly domestic matters and in transnational situations that involve interaction with professionals from other jurisdictions and different legal systems. And our experience has shown us that while a high degree of specialization in insolvency law is a basic requirement, providing legal support in the context of a business in crisis involves various areas of the law. A multidisciplinary approach is needed to achieve the best solutions, which only a full-service law firm with BMA’s range of expertise can deliver.
