Bofill Mir Abogados' bankruptcy and restructuring multidisciplinary team handles both the pre-bankruptcy phases (including the negotiation and restructuring of liabilities) and full bankruptcy stages, such as reorganisation agreements, liquidation procedures and cross-border insolvency matters. Displaying ‘a very commercial vision’, the group is co-led by founding partner and corporate and commercial law specialist, Octavio Bofill, whose expertise covers advice to bondholder groups on their rights in relation to corporate reorganisations; and Rodrigo Saffirio, who routinely acts for debtors and creditors in complex bankruptcy, reorganisation and liquidation proceedings. Senior associate Gonzalo Barceló has broad experience of insolvency and restructuring matters.
