The practice group at Sainz Abogados demonstrates both transactional and contentious capabilities in the bankruptcy and restructuring space. The team is deeply experienced in the representation of debtors, their management and boards, unsecured and secured creditors, international noteholders and strategic investors. Recent highlights included advising the ad hoc group of bondholders on the restructuring of $700m in senior notes issued by AlphaCredit, and advising the ad hoc group of bondholders on the restructuring of Crédito Real. Alejandro Sainz directs the practice and draws on substantial experience advising debtors and creditors on Mexican and cross-border insolvency proceedings, refinancings, corporate reorganisations and the sale and purchase of assets. Additional names to note include Daniel Díaz Álvarez (bankruptcy, commercial litigation, shareholders’ conflicts and public work disputes); and Santiago Alessio, Rodrigo Guaida and Gabriela Avendaño, all of whom specialise in corporate reorganisations, bankruptcy and cross-border insolvency mandates. Counsel Estefanía Sierra Ulíbarri handles civil, commercial and administrative litigation, arbitration and bankruptcy work; associates Lucía Laganá, Luis Antonio Estrella and Yoare Heredia assist across the range of matters.
