Spanish term or phrase: percibir quiebras
This appears in a Chilean power of attorney:

"Se confieren al mandatario todas las facultades indicadas en el inciso primero del artículo séptimo del Código de Procedimiento Civil de Chile, en especial, ... aprobar convenios y ***percibir, pedir, y tramitar las quiebras comerciales y/o judiciales*** que correspondan..."

receive adjudication of bankruptcy and business failures
Explanation:
In Orellana's "Glosario Internacional del Traductor" she uses the verb "receive" for salaries or dividends and "collect" for taxes. I agree with the previous answer that "receive" is the correct verb here. Also in Orellana (the distinguished translator from Chile), she explains that quiebra judicial is "adjudication of bankruptcy" and in the Oxford Business dictionary "quiebra comercial" is "business failure". I believe this answer is more inclusive, although the other answer "receive, etc. bankruptcy notices" is partially correct. The text clearly indicates "quiebra judicial", that is "adjudication of bankruptcy" and/or "quiebra comercial" (business failure). "Bankruptcy notice" is a more informal way that implies "adjudication of bankruptcy" but ignores "business failure" altogether.
