This dissertation undertakes a doctrinal and structural analysis of the interaction between bilateral commercial contracts and the Brazilian insolvency regime established by Law n. 11.101/2005, assessing the extent to which the distinctive legal effects of such contracts— most notably termination for breach (resolutio) and suspension of performance (exceptio non adimpleti contractus)—remain operative within a collective insolvency procedure. Grounded in a theoretical reconstruction of the evolution of contract law and in the differentiation between civil and commercial obligations, the study underscores the functional specificities of commercial contracts, including their instrumental economic purpose, the ex ante allocation of transactional risks, and the enhanced elasticity of private autonomy in inter-firm arrangements. Within the context of corporate financial distress, the research demonstrates that the interplay between contractual doctrine and insolvency law requires a calibrated balancing of legal certainty and predictability for contracting parties with the systemic objectives of business preservation, value maximization, and creditor collectivity embedded in the insolvency framework. The examination of the enforceability of express termination clauses during judicial reorganization and bankruptcy reveals a structural tension between pacta sunt servanda— reinforced by risk allocation mechanisms—and the policy imperative of preserving economically viable business enterprises. The study concludes that a harmonized interpretative approach between the contractual and insolvency microsystems is both feasible and normatively desirable to ensure contractual efficiency, maintain the coherence of the reorganization regime, and safeguard the broader collective and economic interests implicated
