Restructuring, Insolvency and Special Situations

A specialized and multidisciplinary team of lawyers, recognized for its expertise in applying sophisticated solutions for special situations and financial crises.

We offer comprehensive advice on managing problems arising from crisis situations, providing solutions to the different legal problems faced by companies, investors and creditors in these situations.

We are recognized on the market as one of the main experts for advising on special situations and crises. Our clients include financial institutions, investment and venture capital funds, hedge funds, as well as directors, senior managers and shareholders.

Thanks to our specialty in this area, and the experience of our lawyers and our network of international offices, we have participated in some of the most complex and high-profile restructuring processes in Spain, Portugal, Latin America, London and New York in recent years. We advise large multinationals on debt restructuring and insolvency proceedings, as well advising major financial institutions.

Our advisory service includes analyzing our clients’ financial needs and debt structures and assisting them with implementing legal solutions to achieve financial stability for companies.

We advise on the adjustment plans required so companies can adapt to the new economic conditions and market situation. We analyze the debt to be restructured and the legal implications for debtors and creditors arising from these situations, including new security packages, conversions in new debt instruments, changes of debtor, and hive-downs involving assets or debt.

We actively participate in the negotiation of agreement proposals, and coordinate and manage the document production phase of restructuring processes, including standstill, lock-up and cooperation agreements, restructuring plans or approval requests and all the supporting documents. We also handle strategies aimed at acquiring debt through financing transactions (buy-to-own and loan-to-own transactions).

We also advise on strategies for distressed M&A transactions and on new money injections aimed at solving temporary cash-flow problems. We help our clients protect their interests in insolvency situations (e.g., subordination and clawback actions).

Our clients are national and multinational companies in financial trouble, financial institutions, and all kinds of funds (senior and mezzanine) that have acquired debt positions in companies. We also analyze capitalization and loan-to-own strategies to take control of the capital structure of companies.
