About

Provided by Kellerhals Carrard

Kellerhals Carrard has an experienced team of insolvency experts that plays an important role in the field of insolvency and corporate reorganization. We consult officers and directors on the measures to be implemented in the event of an imminent insolvency. We represent financial institutions, debtors as well as acquirers of the business or assets of financially distressed companies and act as court appointed trustees.

We are supported by other Kellerhals Carrard specialists in other key areas such as antitrust, corporate, real estate and tax. We contribute to innovative solutions which improve returns to stakeholders and, in many cases, can help avoid insolvency altogether. In addition, we represent parties in national and international debt enforcement and formal insolvency proceedings.
