According to managing partner Ricardo Veirano, “Paulo brings a wealth of professional experience and expertise coupled with a strong collaborative approach and a user-friendly personality. That combination is not only hard to find, but it matches perfectly our firm’s culture”.
“I am delighted to join a team so passionate, innovative and focused on delivering optimal legal solutions to clients,” Paulo Fernando Campana Filho said. “Our firm is fully prepared to help clients face economic challenges and concerns at this most delicate time”.
Paulo advises debtors, creditors and investors on all matters encompassing bankruptcy and insolvency law, both in and out of court. His practice covers restructuring of debt and reorganization of businesses, as well as investment and acquisition of distressed companies or assets.
Boasting a track record of over 100 domestic and cross-border transactions, Paulo Campana has participated in some of the highest-profile restructuring cases in the last decade.
Recognised as a leading individual in bankruptcy and restructuring by Chambers Latin America, Paulo is considered by clients and peers as hands-on and creative and a brilliant academic.
Paulo Campana has carried out extensive research activity on cross-border insolvencies and restructurings of multinational companies, having participated in research groups at Universidade de São Paulo (USP) and in drafting amendments to the bankruptcy law. He is an active member of leading domestic and international associations in the field of insolvency and restructuring. Additionally, he is the first Brazilian alumni of the next generation programs of both the International Insolvency Institute (III) and the National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges (NCBJ).
“The combination of talents of our existing group – led by Lior Pinsky, Ricardo Gama and Julia Langen – with Paulo’s creates one of the strongest offers in the market,” Ricardo Veirano said. “With the arrival of Paulo Fernando Campana Filho, our insolvency and restructuring team now has three partners split between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, as well as over ten supporting associates and trainees.”
Paulo is a law graduate from Universidade de São Paulo (2003), with an LLM from the Universidade de Coimbra (2007) and a doctorate in business law from Universidade de São Paulo (2013).
