Chapter 11 x Bill 4.458/2020: Insolvency in the US and Brazil – What's Happening?
16 December 2020
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.

Foley Foreign Legal Consultant Pedro Fragoso will be moderating the panel which also includes Foley Partners John Melko and Brittany Nelson.
