Bankruptcy, insolvency, and rehabilitation proceedings have long been pivotal components of the global economic landscape and stay at the core of Portuguese law. Under Portuguese legislation, insolvency proceedings are designed as a universal enforcement process, designed primarily to satisfy creditors in an insolvency scenario in the most effective and efficient way possible.
One of the key methods used to navigate such circumstances is through an insolvency plan. This approach is based on the recovery of a company through the utilization of the company’s insolvency assets. When recovery isn’t feasible, the alternative route is through the liquidation of the company. This process is driven by strict legal frameworks and definitions under Portuguese law, which shapes the path for bankruptcy and rehabilitation proceedings.
