Insolvency law
Insolvency and restructuring law provides the legal framework for resolving financial distress and maximizing value for stakeholders. In times of economic uncertainty, rising interest rates, and disruptions in supply chains, the ability to navigate insolvency proceedings effectively is critical. Whether it involves rescuing a viable business, maximizing recovery for creditors, or protecting personal assets, the right legal counsel can decisively influence the outcome.
Our approach
We view insolvency law as a tool for value maximization and a second chance, not as the end of the road. We combine legal expertise with financial analysis and commercial pragmatism. We seek creative solutions that balance the interests of all stakeholders and preserve enterprise value. Whether representing the debtor, creditors, or investors, our objective is to achieve the optimal outcome in challenging circumstances.
Key areas of practice
We manage restructuring processes from plan preparation to successful implementation. We represent creditors in insolvency proceedings and maximize their recoveries. We provide advisory services for distressed acquisitions and the purchase of assets from bankruptcy estates. We design preventive restructurings and out-of-court settlements. We also handle personal bankruptcies and debt relief for individuals.
Added value for your business
We help distressed companies identify problems early and implement turnaround strategies before formal insolvency proceedings begin. For creditors, we maximize recoveries by combining effective enforcement with pragmatic settlements. We assist investors in identifying distressed opportunities and structuring acquisitions to minimize the assumption of liabilities. We provide management with legal protection and mitigate the risk of personal liability. For suppliers and customers of insolvent companies, we ensure business continuity and safeguard their interests.
Practical challenges and risks
Delaying the resolution of financial distress leads to a complete loss of value and potential personal liability of management. An improperly timed insolvency filing results in loss of control and minimal creditor recovery. Inadequate asset protection prior to insolvency exposes property to clawback risks. Failure to comply with statutory duties during a crisis may trigger criminal liability for creditor harm. A lack of coordination among creditors reduces overall recoveries and prolongs proceedings.
Our solutions in practice
For companies in distress, we design short-term financial stabilization plans and communication strategies that maintain confidence among key stakeholders. In restructurings, we negotiate substantial debt reductions while preserving the company’s operational continuity. For creditors, we develop enforcement strategies that combine security measures, execution proceedings, and insolvency petitions. In distressed M&A transactions, we minimize the risk of liability assumption while maximizing the retained value of assets. In preventive restructurings, we achieve creditor agreements without the need for formal insolvency proceedings.
