About

Provided by ADVANT Altana

ADVANT Altana offers significant and recognized expertise, and a broad range of experience, in even the most complex and high-stakes restructuring, insolvency, and pre-insolvency cases. These cases are regularly cross-border matters where various national laws, as well as European and international regulations, must be combined. 

 

We support and advise clients on the full spectrum of issues involved in crisis and distressed situations, including working alongside creditors, co-contractors or investors; those seeking to acquire distressed assets; major financial institutions; insolvency administrators; and regulators; as well as companies or groups themselves which are in distress. 

Our experience includes handling complex business or corporate reorganizations, operational or financial restructuring, (re)financing carve-outs and distressed M&A, insolvency, and dealing with all types of related issues such as corporate and financial, labor and employment, environment, real estate, tax, and white-collar crime. 


Crisis and distressed situations can often be contentious and transactional, and we bring a unique perspective to supporting clients in such situations. Coupled with our broad and deep experience across many key sectors, we regularly handle situations involving mandatory provisions (clawbacks or damages stemming from past transactions or business conduct) as well as non-mandatory provisions.
