We assisted Constellation Oil Services Holding S.A. (formerly known as QGOG Constellation) and the other members of Brazil's Constellation group, a Brazilian oil-and-gas drilling company, in its USD 1.5 billion global debt restructuring, including the restructuring of its USD 800 million bonds listed on the NY stock exchange.
The debt restructuring was completed in December 2019, ending more than two years of court proceedings in Brazil, the US and the British Virgin Islands.
Our advice included advice on debt restructuring and restructuring strategy, corporate governance, finance documentation, corporate and capital markets and as well as litigation.
