Quiebras y Reestructuraciones Corporativas
El grupo de Quiebras y Reestructuración Corporativa representa a una base de clientes diversa que incluye a deudores corporativos, inversionistas y compradores de activos, comités, tenedores de bonos, acreedores garantizados y no garantizados, partes que tratan con empresas en dificultades, funcionarios y directores, y otras partes interesadas en reestructuraciones corporativas, procedimientos de quiebra y litigios afines en todos los Estados Unidos.
Nuestros socios especializados en quiebras han sido reconocidos como abogados líderes en Estados Unidos por numerosas publicaciones: Bankruptcy Court Decisions-Weekly News & Comment han catalogado a Arnold & Porter como uno de los 12 escritorios jurídicos en Estados Unidos "que presta un servicio ejemplar a los clientes de quiebras corporativas". En varias oportunidades hemos sido reconocidos por Chambers USA: America’s Leading Business Lawyers como un grupo de ejercicio líder en quiebras y reestructuraciones. También hemos sido mencionados en The Best Lawyers in America, Lawdragon 500, Legal 500 US: Corporate and Finance, Super Lawyers, Guide to the World’s Leading Insolvency and Restructuring Lawyers, y otras publicaciones. Nuestros especialistas han publicado libros, a menudo dictan charlas y conferencias y son profesionales reconocidos en su campo.
Este grupo de ejercicio está conformado por profesionales que laboran a tiempo completo en asuntos de quiebras y por abogados de otras áreas, tales como litigios, corporativo y valores, finanzas, impuestos, medio ambiente, antimonopolio, bienes raíces, propiedad intelectual y contratos gubernamentales, que nos asisten en cuestiones específicas de ser necesario. Los casos de quiebras raramente ocurren de manera aislada y una coordinación multidisciplinaria es particularmente valiosa para nuestros clientes porque el poder contar con experiencia sustantiva en áreas afines del derecho es a menudo fundamental para una representación eficiente y eficaz.
Aunque ejercemos a nivel nacional y con frecuencia nos vemos involucrados en casos complejos y de alto perfil, también podemos ocuparnos eficazmente (y lo hacemos con regularidad) de quiebras locales y regionales de menores dimensiones. Nuestro abogados son conscientes de las presiones económicas a las cuales están sometidos muchos de nuestros clientes y por ello, al conformar nuestro equipo de abogados, lo hacemos con miras a minimizar costos y honorarios. Proporcionamos el mismo estándar de excelencia en litigios corrientes de quiebra, casos de insolvencia internacional, o reorganizaciones corporativas de envergadura.
