Over the past year, the Covid-19 pandemic upended many industries. While the construction industry has largely been able to operate throughout the pandemic, albeit with increased and ever-changing restrictions on jobsites, one consequence of these disruptions may be an increase in construction-related bankruptcy filings. Already in 2021, there have been over 70 construction-related bankruptcy filings across the country. For many property owners and real estate developers, these filings create a nightmare scenario where work may slow or even stop entirely.

Law nº 75/2020, published in the Official Gazette in November 27, 2020, and in force from November 28, 2020 to December 31, 2021, has established the following:

a) An exceptional temporary regime for extending the period for concluding the negotiations undertaken with a view to the approval of the recovery plan or payment agreement, and granting an adjustment period for the insolvency plan proposal, within the scope of the COVID -19 pandemic.
