Insolvency in Brazil

This on-demand webinar is available for 14 days after purchase.

Hear from an in-country attorney about the main changes to the law and new features, including but not limited to:

1. Financing of companies under reorganization, super priority and legal instruments to protect the investment
2. Sale of assets free and clear in reorganization proceedings
3. Creditors’ alternative restructuring plan in reorganization proceedings
4. Expedited sale of assets and liquidation plan in bankruptcy liquidation proceedings
5. Cross-border rules to recognize foreign insolvency proceedings and applicable reliefs
