Banks and financial institutions, including HSBC Argentina and Zofingen Investment, rely on ZBV Abogados for strategic counsel during bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganisation proceedings. This includes petitioning the courts to recognise their creditor security interests and any reorganisation schemes negotiated with the debtor. Occasionally, these cases involve criminal complaints against the company and its guarantors, which the multi-disciplinary firm is also able to handle. The practice is led by banking lawyer Francisco Roggero, who advises on bankruptcy and reorganisation proceedings, and distressed M&A transactions; with the similarly experienced Agustina Torre providing additional partner-level fire-power.
