The track record of Dentons‘s six-strong restructuring, insolvency and bankruptcy group includes representing energy and mining companies as creditors in bankruptcy proceedings. Its experience also includes assisting transport and agricultural sector debtors in judicial reorganisations. Multinational companies notably benefit from the firm’s ability to leverage teams in various jurisdictions during liquidations and reorganisations. Team head Carlos Urzúa handles corporate matters, bankruptcy, reorganisations, liquidations, and complex litigation, with a certain focus on the representation of companies during liquidation proceedings and the negotiation of associated contracts. Pauline Chiffelle has a strong track record in the sector and focuses on restructurings, reorganisations and both individual and company liquidations; while on the contentious front, younger partner Marcelo Alarcón is the key contact. At associate level, senior Daniel Cristi has experience assisting creditors negotiate debt settlements with their debtors, as well as representing clients in bankruptcy and/or renegotiation procedures.
