Our restructuring and insolvency experts provide solutions to clients involved in complex distressed company situations. We regularly assist distressed companies, their board, owners, secured lenders, bondholders, suppliers and acquirers handling restructuring, financial recapitalization, acquisitions and liquidations.

We advise on cross-boarder insolvency issues in corporate and financing transactions and on all aspects of distressed debt trading.

Our team is experienced in handling board liability issues relating to distressed company situations.

Our experts act as court appointed trustees in bankruptcy and our advice is therefore not only solution-oriented and pragmatic, but based on significant experience.
