Sergio has acquired significant experience in making deals that involve businesses in financial distress and, when necessary, litigating under such circumstances. He has acted in some of the most important business reorganization proceedings in Brazil since the Brazilian Business Reorganization and Bankruptcy Law was enacted in 2005, including the largest-ever restructuring case in Latin America (as counsel for a group in the telecommunications sector), which involved parallel proceedings in various jurisdictions such as the Netherlands, the United States, England and Portugal.
