Bruchou & Funes de Rioja

While Bruchou & Funes de Rioja covers the full spectrum of bankruptcy and insolvency law, corporate restructuring stands out as a particular area of strength. The lawyers achieve ‘excellent results' for companies facing financial difficulties by restructuring their liabilities effectively and helping them avert bankruptcy and liquidation. The team also helps large creditors, such as banks and bondholders, protect their interests in these proceedings and file for recognition of their claims. When cases involve serious allegations of financial mismanagement by company directors, the firm is well-equipped to handle any associated criminal aspects. Distressed M&A is another core strength, with the team conducting rigorous due diligence for clients contemplating acquisitions of companies undergoing reorganisation. The department is co-led by bankruptcy and litigation specialists Martín Beretervide and Carlos Rotman, who represent international creditors and debtors in complex negotiations, arbitration and litigation. Additional partner-level expertise is provided banking specialist Matías López Figueroa, and corporate conflicts co-head Francisco Camauer, both of whom focus on debt restructuring and reorganisation proceedings. Founding partner Enrique Bruchou retired in August 2025. Senior associate María Sol Alurralde recently left the firm.
