Restructuring & Insolvency

The firm advises executives, shareholders and commercial, financial and banking partners in dealing with corporate distress, whether through out-of-court proceedings (mandat ad hoc, conciliation) or court proceedings (safeguard, judicial reorganisation, liquidation).

It also acts on asset acquisitions and restructurings, and on managing the employment implications of decisions taken during periods of distress, including workforce management and the obtaining of public aid or debt write-offs.
