Pinheiro Neto assists Lavoro in its extrajudicial reorganization
Pinheiro Neto assisted Lavoro Agro Holding in its extrajudicial reorganization, while Machado Meyer acted as legal advisor to one of the main creditors United Phosphorus Limited (UPL), an Indian multinational specializing in agrochemicals.
Lavoro is Brazil’s largest agricultural inputs retailer and redistributor, controlled by Patria Investimentos. The firms negotiated the Extrajudicial Reorganization Plan, Supply Agreement, and related documents.
The petition for extrajudicial reorganization was filed on June 18, 2025, restructuring a total amount of approximately BRL 2.2 billion (USD 400.9 million).
Pinheiro Neto Advogados relied on partners Giuliano Colombo, Thiago Braga Junqueira, Eduardo Paoliello, Camila Carvalho Gomes and Rafael Gaspar, and associates João Guilherme Thiesi da Silva, Maria Fernanda Marchesan Del Grande, Sophia Weinschenker Bollmann and André Goldflus de Pinho.
Machado Meyer relied on partners Arthur Bardawil Penteado, Mariana Meditsch, and Renato Maggio, with contributions from Alberto Faro and lawyers Felipe Schivartche and Karina Ferraz Deorio.
