This sixth issue is special in that it is published in anticipation of the International Bar Association’s Latin American Regional Forum in Mexico City and includes a diverse range of articles reflective of this region. A piece on the Oi restructuring shows the continuing importance of bankruptcy law in Brazil—and the complexity and depth that cases like Oi have produced. Likewise, our article from Mexico demonstrates the growing importance of cross-border restructurings of multinationals, as well as the well-tested principle that bankruptcy consideration cannot be an afterthought—it is part and parcel of the negotiation of any financing.
