Restructuring and Insolvency

A high degree of specialization with all the advantages of a full-service ﬁrm

Our Restructuring and Insolvency 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.

That is just what we offer to our clients in Restructuring and Insolvency: the experience of a legal boutique with all the advantages of a full-service ﬁrm.
