Bankruptcy Law

In some occasions, the insolvency process may be the most accurate option should a person cannot pay its creditors, since it can help them to get rid of debts.

The insolvency process can be either simple or complex depending on the assets and debts and type of person. For that reason, it is important to count with professional assistance.

In the law cases of this type, it is mandatory to be represented by an attorney and also be assisted by procurador (legal assistant for court).

The request for the bankruptcy proceeding depends on whether it is a natural or a legal person and whether there are assets to distribute. In the situation of a natural person (Second Chance Law) applicable to natural person who does not conduct business activity or self-employed (autónomo), the procedure consists of two parts: out-of-court (before notary or Chamber of Commerce) and judicial. In case of a legal person, we shall first analyse its economic situation during the last four years, and calculate the ratio between debts and assets. If there are no assets, the procedure may be closed in 3-5 months.

The answer to this question may defer depending on the type of proceeding and the assets and liabilities of the debtor. The proceedings without assets can be finished in a few months, however, the bankruptcy proceedings that require liquidation, can take between 2 and 10 years. This is usually the case of large companies.
