Bankruptcy and Corporate Restructurings in Mexico: Recent Experiences and the Road Ahead

February 2009

International creditors and investors face significant challenges in Mexican distressed situations and bankruptcies. The new bankruptcy legislation addresses many but not all creditor concerns. Some of the questions that we will explore in this tightly structured seminar that you can't afford to miss include:

• Are creditors afforded the same protections as in other jurisdictions ?
• How do controlling shareholders fare under the new regime ?
• How safe is the Mexican fideicomiso structure against attack ?
• Are there opportunities to purchase distressed assets out of bankruptcy ?
• Are there risks of jurisdictional battles or forum-shopping ?
• When should a Mexican debtor consider Chapter 11 ?
• How do you accomplish DIP financings and pre-packaged plans within a Mexican concurso ?
• What's the effect on foreign-currency debt ?
• How are indenture trustees treated ?
