Restructuring/Insolvency

Walder Wyss’ restructuring and insolvency team has been involved in practically all prominent bankruptcy and creditors’ composition cases in Switzerland. Regularly we advise and represent big stake creditors in out of court arrangements and in Swiss composition and liquidation proceedings. Most cases have cross-border implications, leading to a cooperation of Walder Wyss with major international restructuring and insolvency law firms. Further, we have a large practice for financial restructurings and corporate rescue.
Walder Wyss manages both national and complex international cases, providing comprehensive legal services for strategic and financial restructuring as well as advice on non-performing business transactions and board room advice in critical situations.
We advise the interest groups involved with regard to Swiss insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings, and also support foreign borrowers, receivers and liquidators when launching and coordinating parallel and ancillary proceedings under Swiss insolvency law. In addition, with the support of our experienced litigation group we conduct asset tracing and enforce claims against assets located in Switzerland.
Our restructuring and insolvency team plays an active role in its clients’ affairs. This applies both to out-of-court financial and debt restructuring as well as to court proceedings such as moratoriums under company law, standstill agreements and bankruptcy proceedings.
