TMA Brasil

What TMA Brasil does

TMA Brasil (Turnaround Management Association do Brasil) is a São Paulo-based professional non-profit association and the Brazilian chapter of TMA Global, founded in 2002. It serves as the primary knowledge and networking body in Brazil for lawyers, financial advisors, judicial administrators, financial institutions, and corporate executives engaged in corporate restructuring, turnaround management, and judicial recovery. Founding members include PwC, Deloitte, KPMG, Alvarez & Marsal, and Pinheiro Neto Advogados, with institutional sponsorship from BTG Pactual, Galdino, Invista, Marques, Mega Leilões, and WP.

The association's core offerings span an Acervo Digital repository, the CDI - Centro de Dados e Inteligência (a data platform covering the 100 largest restructuring cases in Brazil), the Revista TMA Brasil journal, and an events program anchored by the largest Latin American restructuring congress, alongside the NextGen mentorship program for professionals under 34. Supplementary content includes TMA Talks video series, a podcast, articles, and eBooks. The CDI platform represents the most structured product surface, providing financial and legal case data for academic and professional use.

TMA Brasil's revenue mechanics rely on recurring annual membership fees — R$ 5,240 for a 2026 corporate (pessoa jurídica) package covering three members — institutional sponsorships, course and event ticket sales, and corporate sponsorship packages. The association operates with approximately 79 employees, governed by an Administrative Council and a published Code of Ethics under OSCIP statute. No financial figures are publicly disclosed.

• Commercial Law League of America (CLLA): US-based association of commercial law, insolvency and bankruptcy professionals with an education and events program. Closely comparable in mission and member profile to TMA Brasil, though US-focused.
• American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI): Leading US membership organization for insolvency and restructuring professionals, providing education, conferences and publications. Operates in a parallel role to TMA Brasil but for the North American restructuring market.
• R3 (Association of Business Recovery Professionals): UK-based professional body for restructuring, turnaround and insolvency professionals. Comparable membership, certification and event model to TMA Brasil but serving the UK market; TMA Brasil mirrors this format for Brazil.
• TMA Argentina: Argentine chapter of TMA Global and the most direct geographic peer to TMA Brasil. Operates with the same model (membership, events, courses) targeting the Argentine restructuring and turnaround market.

Direct peers

• INSOL International: Global federation of insolvency and restructuring professionals and associations. Like TMA Brasil, INSOL provides international best-practice sharing, education and a member network for turnaround and insolvency practitioners.
• Instituto Brasileiro de Recuperação de Empresas (IBR): Brazilian nonprofit dedicated to corporate recovery and judicial restructuring. It directly competes with TMA Brasil for the same legal, financial and judicial administrator member base in Brazil's turnaround community.
• TMA Global: The global parent organization of TMA Brasil, TMA Global is the worldwide turnaround management association serving restructuring professionals. TMA Brasil operates as its Brazilian chapter under the same membership and content framework.
• International Association of Restructuring, Insolvency & Bankruptcy Professionals (INSOL): Umbrella global body connecting national restructuring associations. TMA Brasil competes/collaborates with INSOL's national member associations for international mindshare and event participation.

Broad incumbents

• Instituto Brasileiro de Direito Empresarial (Ibrademp): Brazilian academic and professional institute focused on business law, including restructuring topics. Overlaps with TMA Brasil's audience of corporate lawyers and advisors but is broader in scope (entire business law vs. restructuring specialist).
