Puerto Rico Restructuring: New Rules for Professional Compensation Disclosure

This new law increases transparency in Puerto Rico's restructuring processes by requiring lawyers and other professionals to disclose their connections before receiving compensation. This aims to ensure that all parties involved in Puerto Rico's financial processes act fairly and without hidden conflicts of interest, potentially impacting the region's financial stability.
Key points
Professionals (e.g., attorneys, accountants) must disclose their connections to key parties before being compensated in Puerto Rico cases.
The Oversight Board must establish a list of material interested parties for disclosure.
Courts can deny compensation if disclosures are inadequate or if a professional has a conflict of interest.
