A Crisis Manager in Its Own Crisis
The irony of Ambipar’s situation is striking. Known globally for its expertise in crisis containment and disaster mitigation, the company now faces a financial emergency of its own, juggling restructuring proceedings in both the United States and Brazil.
The dual filings underscore growing pressure on global firms that straddle emerging and developed markets — where currency fluctuations, debt exposure, and regulatory complexities can turn a regional setback into a full-blown international storm.
Ambipar’s Chapter 11 case will run in tandem with its Brazilian judicial restructuring, setting the stage for a cross-border legal dance that could determine whether the company can emerge intact or face fragmentation of its once formidable crisis management empire.
