Trustee OS para Argentina

The operating system for the síndico.

Built on Ley 24.522, for concurso preventivo and quiebra.

The framework

Four procedures.

Concurso preventivo (arts. 5–76)

Debtor-in-possession reorganisation with a 90-day período de exclusividad to obtain creditor majorities.

Quiebra directa and quiebra indirecta (art. 77)

Liquidation of the estate, whether opened directly or after a failed concurso.

Acuerdo preventivo extrajudicial (arts. 69–76)

Out-of-court composition submitted for homologation.

Pequeño concurso (arts. 288–289)

A simplified track.

The role

What the síndico has to do.

  1. 01

    The síndico must be a contador público with at least five years on the matrícula; lawyers are excluded.

  2. 02

    The judge designates by public sorteo from lists the Cámara de Apelación forms every four years, holding no fewer than fifteen síndicos plus ten alternates per court (art. 253).

  3. 03

    The office cannot be resigned except for grave cause, and the síndico must act personally (arts. 255, 258).

  4. 04

    Every creditor files a verification request with the síndico, stating amount, cause and privilege (art. 32).

  5. 05

    The síndico then writes an individual report on each and every claim within twenty days (art. 35), and a ten-part informe general thirty days later (art. 39) — including the date on which cessation of payments began and a concrete list of acts susceptible of clawback.

  6. 06

    In bankruptcy: seizure and inventory in triplicate (arts. 177–179), deposit of all money received to the judge's order within three days (art. 183), realisation in a mandatory order of preference starting with the business as a going concern (art. 204), and a final report and distribution plan within ten days (art. 218).

The deadlines are hard. The reconciliation behind them is still manual.

The caseload

The market, in three numbers.

concursos preventivos opened in the Buenos Aires commercial courts in 2025, against 82 in 2023 — a rise of 131.7%
190
the 2020 pandemic peak — already exceeded
106
proceedings opened in the first judicial trimester of 2026 alone
92

Observatorio IPA, on Cámara Nacional de Apelaciones en lo Comercial data, May 2026. Buenos Aires jurisdiction only.

Why now, specifically

A new cohort, arriving as the caseload doubles.

Concursos preventivos in the Buenos Aires commercial courts more than doubled between 2023 and 2025, and are already running above the pandemic peak.

A new four-year cohort of síndicos was drawn in December 2024 and assigned across 31 courts — they took up their appointments exactly as the caseload doubled. The informe individual is due twenty days after objections close, on every claim, without exception.
