Bomchil

Bomchil represents a wide range of clients, both on the debtor and the creditor side, on a broad field of complex cross-border restructuring matters. Taking an interdisciplinary approach to restructuring cases, and working with colleagues in other departments, the team handles liability management, security interest foreclosures, creditor committee mandates and distressed asset acquisitions. The practice is also well-versed in restructuring and reorganisation proceedings, including Chapter 11 and Chapter 15 proceedings in the US. The team is co-led by experienced insolvency lawyers Tomás Araya and Martín Girotti, who are both members of the insolvency section of the International Bar Association. Litigator Melisa Romero, raised to the partnership in January 2023, is another senior level contact with ample experience of the contentious aspects of bankruptcy matters. Since publication, the practice has been notably reinforced with the hire of former bankruptcy judge Julia Villanueva as practice co-head – effective as of January 2024.
