Morgan & Morgan Legal acted as Panamanian counsel to Avianca Holdings, S.A. (“Avianca”) and its subsidiaries, in connection with its financial and corporate restructuring process, implemented to emerge from Chapter 11 proceedings in the United States of America, after having filed for bankruptcy protection in U.S. Courts back in May 2020. Avianca’s emergence from Chapter 11 involved the offering of Senior Note Indentures which resulted in over US$1,700,000,000.00 in new investments used to reduce debt and obtain liquidity, as well as a profound overhaul and reorganization of its corporate structure.
Partners Francisco Arias G., Aristides Anguizola and Raul Castro, Senior Associate Alexis Medina, Associate Allen Candanedo and International Associate Miguel Arias M. participated in this transaction.
