Mechteld is affiliated with the specialist association for insolvency lawyers “Insolad” and has written several blogs about management liability and bankruptcy fraud. Besides acting as a trustee, she advises companies in difficulty on the best possible way to restructure debts. Mechteld also has a debt collection and general contract law practice.
