We represent clients in complex disputes, both as claimants and defendants. Our focus is commercial litigation: corporate, contractual, infrastructure, civil liability, enforcement proceedings, and credit recovery disputes. We act before trial and appellate courts, as well as before the higher courts.
We are more than accustomed to leading and coordinating, in an integrated manner, strategic macro-litigation matters that unfold across multiple fronts at the same time, in different venues or jurisdictions.
We represent parties in domestic and international arbitrations before leading Brazilian and international arbitral institutions, in corporate, contractual, infrastructure, energy, and construction disputes. We act from the request for arbitration through to the award: defining legal theories, appointing arbitrators, drafting submissions, actively conducting the evidentiary phase, and presenting the case at hearings.
In addition, we have extensive experience in the enforcement of arbitral awards and, likewise, in proceedings to set them aside when necessary.
We act for creditors and other stakeholders in insolvency proceedings, judicial and extrajudicial reorganizations, and cross-border restructurings, including Chapter 15, Chapter 11, and requests for foreign cooperation in Brazil.
In this environment, we have a long track record representing banks, funds, debenture holders, bondholders, strategic suppliers, and asset purchasers in judicial and extrajudicial reorganizations: in negotiations both within and outside the proceedings, at creditors’ meetings, in disputes concerning reorganization plans, and in designing and implementing DIP financing, stalking horse, and sale structures involving isolated business units.
