Paulo Valério has been invited to lecture in the Postgraduate Programme in Business Bankruptcy and Recovery at the Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná (PUC-PR).

The lawyer joins a distinguished group of specialists teaching in this lato sensu postgraduate course, aimed at legal professionals — both recent graduates and experienced practitioners — working in the field of corporate recovery and restructuring. The programme is designed for those looking to deepen their understanding of the legal, procedural and substantive aspects of business insolvency, or to update their knowledge in light of recent legislative developments.

On 10 April, Paulo Valério will deliver a session focusing on the Portuguese legal framework for insolvency, highlighting key legal and judicial solutions applicable to companies facing financial distress.

“It will be a privilege to take part in this respected programme and share with Brazilian academics and professionals our experience in the field of insolvency and corporate recovery, from a comparative law perspective,” says VFA’s Managing Partner.

His participation in this high-level training reflects the strong connection between legal practice and academic engagement, and underscores VFA’s commitment to critical thinking, knowledge sharing and the international recognition of Portuguese legal expertise.

More than an academic contribution, this is an opportunity to share practical insights gained from decades of experience in commercial litigation and strategic advisory work with distressed companies.

The devil is in the details.
