Moraes Jr. Advogados: a restructuring and insolvency practice

Moraes Jr. Advogados has built its reputation around insolvency and the reorganisation of businesses in difficulty. Its core work covers judicial recovery, extrajudicial recovery and bankruptcy – the principal mechanisms under Brazilian law for restructuring or winding up a company that can no longer meet its obligations – together with corporate restructuring and business law more broadly. Around this specialism the firm offers a suite of related services, including asset-protection and succession planning through patrimonial holding structures, tax restructuring and tax law, corporate criminal and civil law, labour and employment matters, agricultural law, and contract law, as well as a dedicated judicial-recovery service for rural producers.

This breadth is well matched to the reality of insolvency work, which rarely stands alone. A company in financial distress usually faces intertwined tax, labour, contractual and corporate questions at the same time, and the interests of its owners, creditors and employees must all be managed. A firm that can address restructuring alongside these connected fields is able to offer distressed businesses a coherent and comprehensive response rather than piecemeal advice.

Restructuring and insolvency in the Brazilian context

Brazil has a well-developed legal framework for corporate reorganisation and insolvency, and judicial and extrajudicial recovery proceedings play an important role in preserving businesses, protecting jobs and giving companies a structured path back to viability. Navigating these processes calls for advisers who understand both the technical requirements of the law and the commercial and human realities of a business under pressure. Advising in this area demands the ability to work with courts, creditors, administrators and the company's own management to build a plan that is legally sound and practically workable.

The judicial-recovery service the firm offers to rural producers reflects the significance of agribusiness in the Brazilian economy and the particular pressures that agricultural enterprises can face. Extending restructuring expertise to this sector shows the firm's readiness to apply its core insolvency skills to the specific circumstances of different types of client.
