E. Munhoz Advogados

E. Munhoz Advogados has established a first-class reputation for representing major debtors, who turn to the team for assistance in contentious insolvency cases and out-of-court restructurings. With equally strong credentials in debt refinancings and distressed M&A, the firm has been involved in some of the largest insolvencies and restructurings to hit the Brazilian market, including proceedings in key industries, such as energy, infrastructure, sugar and alcohol. While the firm is best known for representing debtors, it has in a recent highlight acted for the ad hoc group of bondholders in the restructuring of Andrade Gutierrez Engenharia Group. Key partners include the ‘very good’ Eduardo Secchi Munhoz, who brings over 25 years of contentious and non-contentious expertise to the table. Carolina Machado Letizio Vieira excels in related litigation, while Ferdinando Lunardi and Laura Amaral Patella are well versed in corporate law, capital markets and restructuring. Up-and-coming partner Ana Elisa Laquimia is also active in restructuring and insolvency matters.
