About

Provided by Machado Meyer

Success in these transactions requires quick, effective, and creative responses to each company's difficulties and to meet the needs of those involved, especially legal certainty. Solutions must involve proactivity, strategic vision, and risk mitigation, as well as the ability to reconcile the different interests at stake.

With one of the most traditional restructuring and insolvency practices in Brazil, Machado Meyer works mainly to defend the interests of creditors and investors, exploring alternatives and maximizing opportunities.

With experience in coordinating complex national and international projects, our professionals have accumulated knowledge in a wide range of areas, such as banking and financial transactions, structured transactions, transactions in regulated sectors, debt restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, and recovery and insolvency proceedings in general. This gives us a clearer and more precise view of each client's needs and helps us to anticipate problems that may arise during the process.
