Restructuring and Insolvency
Our Restructuring and Insolvency practice plays a crucial role in safeguarding the interests of individuals, businesses, and institutions, both as debtors and creditors, in insolvency contexts.
Our firm specializes in this critical field, offering a comprehensive approach to address a wide range of challenges, both at local and international levels. With our team of experienced and recognized lawyers, we have actively participated in some of the most iconic insolvency cases in recent times. This includes Chapter 11 proceedings conducted under the U.S. Bankruptcy Law, where our demonstrated international capabilities have been deployed in the service of our clients.
We excel in providing comprehensive restructuring advice, both in the pre-bankruptcy phase (debt negotiation and restructuring) and in the bankruptcy stage (reorganization agreements and liquidation procedures). In both scenarios, our approach spans from initial negotiations to full compliance with the agreements.
Furthermore, our team advises clients in cross-border insolvency proceedings, in which we have been engaged for the preparation of legal opinions as experts in Chilean insolvency law and in cross-border insolvency matters.
Our deep legal acumen and multidisciplinary approach, strengthened by our practices in Capital Markets, Banking and Finance, and Litigation, have allowed us to demonstrate our dedication and understanding in assisting clients through financial turbulence.
