Mehr Information
Recommended for its ‘in-depth knowledge’, Mattos Filho’s restructuring and insolvency team acts for a range of creditors and investors in judicial reorganisations, most recently proceedings in the retail, telecoms, mining and financial industries, out-of-court restructurings, as well as transactions in the context of insolvencies. The latter is a key area of focus for Marcelo Ricupero, who has a wealth of experience in debt restructurings and distressed deals. Alex Hatanaka is proficient in disputes relating to the financial sector and capital markets. Additionally, Frederico Kerr Bullamah is highly active in matters involving debt restructurings, and Stefano Motta is noted for his ‘huge command of legal issues’ in the context of bankruptcy proceedings, out-of-court reorganisations and credit recovery.
