Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘The restructuring and insolvency practice is one of the most efficient in the market, with several recognitions and a negotiation capacity that guarantees the client excellent results.’

  • ‘Searching for and finding assets of insolvent and bankrupt debtors is almost impossible worldwide, especially in Brazil where debtors use various subterfuges to hide their assets. The Leite Tosto team has supported us in several initiatives to recover unpaid debts by its debtors, being successful in several cases. This is only possible because the firm is very familiar with Brazilian legislation and the subterfuges that debtors use.’
