RISK ENVIRONMENTS
Strategic negotiation in adverse scenarios.
We provide counsel in handling transactions within critical financial or operational contexts, focusing on mitigating multiple risks. Our practice covers strategy development, asset structuring, and negotiation of measures that safeguard business viability.
ASSET/BUSINESS SALES
Acquisition and divestment with full legal support.
We advise on contractual and corporate structuring for the purchase or sale of assets and businesses under special conditions, including comprehensive due diligence and contingency assessment, ensuring complete legal support from initial negotiations through transaction closing.
ALTERNATIVE RECOVERY PLANS
Structuring legal solutions beyond the traditional model.
We design alternative recovery plans for businesses under financial stress, focusing on innovative strategies for reorganization and turnaround. This includes defining differentiated corporate mechanisms and proposing solutions that maximize value and preserve assets.
DEBT ISSUANCE
Advisory for raising funds under specific conditions.
We provide legal structuring for debt issuance by companies under financial stress, including guidance on the drafting of debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing instruments. Our work ensures regulatory compliance, contractual security, and risk mitigation.
NON-PERFORMING LOANS (NPL)
Legal management for the purchase and sale of distressed debt.
Our practice covers negotiations, assignments, and acquisitions of non-performing loan portfolios, with full legal analysis to ensure regulatory compliance and maximize recovery value. We focus on transparency and security in all transactions.
Transactions involving assets and claims in financially distressed situations require a joint assessment of the business conditions and legal risks. In asset purchases or sales, negotiations involving non-performing loans, and financing arrangements, reviewing documentation and potential liabilities helps guide negotiations, the definition of security arrangements, and the preparation of contractual instruments.
CPDMA brings together the corporate, contractual, and regulatory aspects required to assess and structure these transactions. The work considers the interests of those involved, governance mechanisms, and the conditions for carrying out the transaction, with attention to risks that may affect the investment or intended reorganization.
