RERE – EXTRAJUDICIAL CORPORATE RECOVERY REGIME
RERE – the Extrajudicial Corporate Recovery Regime is a legal mechanism designed to govern negotiations between companies in difficulty and their creditors, with the aim of promoting the full or partial economic recovery of the company outside the formal court system.
It is a solution intended for companies that are facing financial difficulty or imminent insolvency and that wish to attempt a restructuring through negotiation, outside of court.
At Armandino Lopes Advogados, we provide legal support in RERE proceedings, assisting companies with assessing the viability of resorting to this regime, preparing negotiations, the legal framing of the restructuring agreement, dealings with creditors, the liability of management bodies, and the reorganization of the business.
Legal support at this stage is essential to properly structure the negotiation, protect the company, and create the conditions for a sustainable recovery.
