Our team also advises companies and their directors and supervisory directors on asset-based lending, multi jurisdiction restructuring and work out scenarios and on all issues relating to directors’ and officers’ liability. The team litigates for this group of clients in these areas of law.

 

Our lawyers are also regularly appointed by the Dutch Court as administrator and (preliminary) bankruptcy trustee in high-profile insolvency proceedings. Our knowledge and experience of both (debt) restructurings and acting as court-appointed bankruptcy trustees, makes CMS uniquely positioned to advise all stakeholders facing distressed and special situations.

 

The team’s approach is down to earth, pragmatic and much appreciated in the market.
