Bringing together experience in litigation, banking and finance, and M&A, the team at Stocche Forbes Advogados is adept at representing clients - including domestic and international creditors - in insolvency proceedings. The department’s workload not only features judicial reorganisations within the mining, sugar and ethanol and retail sectors, but also includes the acquisition of distressed assets and DIP financings. The group is led by Teo Silva Galvão and corporate and debt restructuring specialist Guilherme Gaspari Coelho, who acts for creditors and bondholders in recapitalisations, judicial and extrajudicial restructurings and other special situations. Senior associate Camila Manso, who recently returned to the firm, advises on debt restructurings, judicial and out-of-court reorganisations and liquidations.
