Bankruptcy law

Doing business involves taking risks. These risks can lead to liquidity or solvency problems. The lawyers of the Bankruptcy Law and Restructuring Department assist companies and their (supervisory) directors in times of (potential) financial difficulties. But other interested parties, such as creditors and banks, can also engage the services of these specialists. Required services may involve continuation, restructuring and/or refinancing of the business activities.

The lawyers of this department are regularly appointed by the district court as administrators in moratoriums or as official receiver in bankruptcies. This makes them ideally qualified to evaluate such situations and advise on a range of measures. As regards liability, they can offer directors expert advice on all do's and don’ts.

These specialists have extensive experience in proceedings whereby directors or other senior executives have been held liable by the receivers for alleged mismanagement. Backed by this specialist knowledge, these lawyers can steer clients away from the many potential pitfalls in the area of directors' liability. Where necessary, services by our office are provided in cooperation with external experts, such as accountants and tax lawyers.
