Insolvency, Bankruptcy and Restructuring
With a solid experience and strong reputation in the sector, PPU advises clients on insolvency and restructuring processes, both in and out-of-court. The firm has successfully represented debtors, creditors, and investors, providing innovative and strategic solutions through an interdisciplinary approach. Our team includes specialists in insolvency and restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, corporate law, and the liability of partners and directors, as well as support from related areas such as tax, employment, competition, and litigation, among others.
Our interdisciplinary team includes lawyers with proven experience in negotiation, litigation, financing, tax and mergers and acquisitions, which allows us to handle insolvency with a modern and comprehensive approach.
We specialise in protecting the interests of both debtors and creditors, offering strategic and creative solutions that go beyond the boundaries of traditional practice. We design bespoke strategies to safeguard our clients’ interests.
We offer legal advice mainly in the following matters:
Risk analysis
Identification of corporate, contractual, and legal factors that could trigger a crisis, with the aim of assessing them alongside appointed financial advisors to determine the imminence of the risk and potential mitigating measures.
Strategy proposal
We analyse the necessity and appropriateness of advancing reorganisation efforts within the company’s operations from various perspectives, determining whether there is a need to reconsider contractual relationships, governance matters, or debt arrangements, all in close collaboration with the designated financial, commercial, and administrative teams. In this context, the firm evaluates the appropriateness and feasibility of pursuing private agreements or insolvency proceedings and proposes the fundamental bases of these arrangements considering the types of claims, existing collateral, cash flows, the profile of the creditors involved, the equity protection measures required, and other aspects that are relevant to the specific case. In addition, when advising creditors, our analysis focuses not only on the support of the claim and its potential collection, but also on proposing strategies to optimise a creditor’s position, both in insolvency and non-insolvency scenarios.
Representation in negotiations
We represent our clients in negotiations between creditors, debtors, investors and other key stakeholders, both from the debtor’s and creditor’s perspective.
Settlement of credits
We advise on the strategic acquisition of assets, shares or credit rights as part of public or private restructuring plans.
Seeking additional resources
We assist in identifying financing and capital opportunities to strengthen the financial structure.
Advising investors in pre-bankruptcy assets
Identification and analysis of investment opportunities in financially distressed assets or companies.
For companies already in the insolvency phase, our assistance focuses on the following aspects:
Negotiation of reorganisation agreements
We represent clients in structuring and negotiating agreements with their creditors in the context of the insolvency process.
Strategies for debtors and creditors
We design legal and financial strategies to maximise our clients’ position during the insolvency process.
Proposition and defence of objections and conciliation of claims
We participate in the objection of claims within the process, both actively and passively, and we represent our clients in the conciliations that may take place in relation to contested claims.
Refinancing and redesign of securities
We render legal advice in the negotiation and redesign of securities to adapt them to the conditions of the process.
Lifting of precautionary measures
We defend our clients’ interests against legal actions affecting their assets or rights.
Mergers and acquisitions in reorganisation and liquidation
We facilitate the purchase and sale of companies in bankruptcy proceedings, with a strategic focus on maximising value.
