Corporate Restructuring Lawyers
A corporate restructuring process consists of a set of measures negotiated between a company and its creditors in order to amend the terms of its debt, restore the viability of the business and avoid formal insolvency proceedings. Spanish Insolvency Law governs this process and establishes a specific framework that enables companies facing financial difficulties to reach agreements with qualified majorities of creditors, even in the absence of unanimity.
At AGM Abogados, we assist both debtor companies that need to design and negotiate a viable restructuring plan and financial institutions and funds participating in these processes as creditors. Our team combines legal expertise in insolvency law with the financial analysis required to structure robust and sustainable proposals.
Within this framework, the role of the Corporate Restructuring Expert is that of an independent third party expressly provided for under Spanish Insolvency Law. Their function is to assist the parties in negotiating and preparing the plan, as well as to issue the reports required by law or by the court during the process.
The Restructuring Expert may be appointed voluntarily by the company or by the creditors, and their involvement is legally required in two specific cases: where the aim is to extend the effects of the plan to classes of creditors that have voted against it, and where the suspension of enforcement actions against the debtor is sought during the negotiations.
Who do we advise?
Our corporate restructuring advisory services are aimed at financially distressed companies that need to negotiate a restructuring plan with their creditors, as well as banks, investment funds and debt recovery companies participating in these processes as creditors. They are also addressed to companies and creditors that need to appoint a Restructuring Expert under Spanish Insolvency Law in order to extend the effects of the plan or to seek the suspension of enforcement actions.
What does our corporate restructuring advisory service consist of?
Assistance in the preparation of restructuring plans
The starting point of any restructuring process is a thorough analysis of the company’s financial position. Based on this assessment, we prepare a restructuring proposal that is both viable and capable of being negotiated with creditors. This work includes:
- Analysis of the balance sheet and debt structure.
- Analysis of the profit and loss account.
- Analysis of projected future cash flows.
- Preparation of a restructuring proposal and support in its negotiation.
Preparation of reports required under Spanish Insolvency Law
As Restructuring Experts, we are authorised to issue the reports required by insolvency regulations at specific stages of the process, as well as those requested by the court. We prepare:
- A going‑concern valuation report, required to extend the effects of the plan to dissenting classes of creditors.
- A report supporting the extension of the negotiation period and the suspension of enforcement actions.
- A viability report on the restructuring plan.
