Lorente & Lopez Abogados

Lorente & Lopez Abogados is an experienced advisor of financially distressed companies undergoing reorganisations and bankruptcy proceedings. In Argentina’s volatile financial market, the firm advises on early intervention and preventative reorganisations so companies can avoid liquidation and recover their financial stability. As debts and reorganisation proceedings can exclude businesses from being national state service providers, the lawyers also assist with their reinstatement. Unusually, fintech companies are supported even though Argentine regulations do not currently recognise them as financial institutions capable of undergoing reorganisation. The team also facilitates corporate acquisitions where the target company is subject to bankruptcy or reorganisation proceedings. Practice co-heads Javier Armando Lorente, Ariel A. Di Bártolo and Mariana S. Russo are all experienced practitioners who collectively deal with restructuring, insolvency, corporate conflicts and M&A matters.
