With extensive experience in acting for creditors, Pinheiro Guimarães excels in major debt refinancing and restructuring transactions, though it is also skilled in representing a series of actors, including bondholders and claimholders, in judicial reorganisations and insolvency proceedings. The team is jointly led by Gustavo Mota Guedes, who possesses an impressive track record in high-profile bankruptcy and restructuring cases, and the ‘tenacious’ Guilherme Vaz, another name to note for complex litigation in this space. Drawing on his strong background in M&A and private equity, Sérgio Ramos Yoshino handles debt restructuring transactions and distressed deals.
