About:
The US has long been a hub for non US companies seeking to reorganize under chapter 11, which offers alternatives not available under the laws of many countries.
The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) long ago created a protocol for cooperation between courts of countries where multinational businesses were conducting simultaneous reorganizations. Join us for an insightful discussion hosted by BRATECC and FOLEY & LARDNER LLP to learn about Brazil's new law, adopting the UNCITRAL Protocol.
