About

Provided by CS'Associados

Our comprehensive team brings together a wide range of skills and includes lawyers of recognised prestige in various practice areas, with solid experience in advising on corporate restructuring and insolvency proceedings.

The multidisciplinary nature and the high technical capacity of the team allows it to accompany all the phases that make up the restructuring, recovery or liquidation process, always with the aim of finding an appropriate solution for each case.

CS'Associados' clients include companies from a wide range of sectors, as well as banks in liquidation, complex corporate groups in need of restructuring, and national and international investors in the due diligence and investment phases.

Our advice covers all types of corporate restructuring processes, both in and out of court, and guarantees a follow-up that includes negotiations with investors and creditors, the acquisition of debts, the preparation of restructuring and recovery plans, tax impact analyses, the enforcement of guarantees and the practical implementation of measures, both financial and corporate, in the context of corporate recovery processes.

In insolvency matters, we provide a wide range of services, including the liquidation or reorganisation of companies, the defence of creditors' rights, the review of directors’ rights and duties in relation to their respective responsibilities, the protection and recovery of assets and the analysis of the impact of insolvency on contractual relationships.
