The growing importance of ESG criteria in restructuring

Restructurings are, by their nature, both international and deeply internal. It is therefore essential to understand the commonalities, but also the differences, in law and in practice.

The third edition of The Guide to Restructuring – edited by Joy K. Gallup and Michael L. Fitzgerald of Baker McKenzie and published by Latin Lawyer– is designed to assist restructuring advisors and companies in negotiating complicated restructurings. This Guide provides expert information to help advisors, attorneys, corporate decision makers and judicial officials navigate this complex process.

Our partner Ricardo Orea, an expert in restructuring, and our associate Norma Álvarez, an expert in ESG issues, contribute to this Guide as authors of the article “The growing importance of ESG criteria in restructuring”. In this article, they explain how companies with solid environmental and social strategies will be the first to issue a new class of assets. Sustainability is thus acquiring an increasingly important role, with sustainable finance guiding the destination of investment funds to develop projects whose social and environmental purposes play a relevant role.
