Insolvency Law

Basic Knowledge of legal concepts.

The methodology used will favor the active participation of students, in a dynamic that will be based on the following methodological and technical procedures: Affirmative method: presentation of basic information by the teacher (expository and demonstrative). Interrogative method: critical analysis and discussion of selected texts that exemplify concepts, methods, techniques and procedures presented. Active method: teaching by discovery, resolution and discussion of case studies.

  Questions are asked during the exhibition and digital platforms are used. Debates/discussions will be promoted in class and case studies will be resolved in the classroom, as already mentioned. The current and relevant jurisprudence on the subjects taught will always be analyzed

The student must master the principles that inform Insolvency Law and know the procedure for insolvency. The student should understand the position of the insolvency bodies throughout the process, as well as the existing legal solutions that constitute an alternative to insolvency.
