If a company encounters financial difficulties this will have a strong impact on all stakeholders of that company. We provide legal assistance to (the management of) the company, financial institutions, shareholders, suppliers and various types of creditors. In a domestic context and in cross-border situations, where we co-operate where appropriate with foreign independent expert attorneys.

We advise and assist our clients on various strategies on restructurings, recoveries, split-ups, rescues and work-outs, de-mergers and corporate simplifications within the context of a (latent) insolvency or otherwise. We integrate other relevant legal aspects in our approach such as refinancing, employment, corporate contracts and tax issues. We are seasoned appointed trustees in insolvencies and know how to act strategically for the benefit of various types of creditors, whether it is in litigation or otherwise.

In addition, we assist in legal proceedings on behalf of directors or ‘quasi’ directors of companies in case of mismanagement asserted by appointed trustees, creditors or tax authorities.

Furthermore, we provide advice with regard to the legal aspects of financing or refinancing of companies, project structuring and financing of various types of assets. We assist in the preparation of credit facility and security documentation. In our transactional work, we work closely together with our attorneys on Mergers, Acquisitions and private Equity and Corporate Tax.

For creditors and financial institutions we prepare the involuntary sale of assets. For debtors we put up a defence in order to minimize damages or to prevent an unlawful execution. In addition, we assist in security enforcement and act in legal proceedings for the benefit of various types of creditors.
