Restructuring & Bankruptcy

As an entrepreneur, you want your business to be successful and profitable. However, it can happen that the company faces financial problems. This may lead to a situation where it can be foreseen that the business will no longer be able to meet its obligations in the short term, and even faces the threat of bankruptcy. Such a situation causes unrest with suppliers, employees, lenders and with the directors themselves.

However, it is often not too late and a reorganisation, restructuring of obligations, financing or offering a creditors’ agreement can avert bankruptcy.

Why choose us

The insolvency team at GMW lawyers can assist directors, shareholders and other parties involved with the company. From our experience as bankruptcy trustees, we have the knowledge and skills to quickly and decisively set up a rescue operation and to guide you in this. Moreover, we have knowledge of different markets. We do not avoid conversations with banks, forced creditors and other stakeholders.

If a restructuring is no longer possible, we will guide you in a controlled manner towards a suspension of payment or bankruptcy. We know exactly what opportunities and pitfalls there are for the company and what directors should and should not do.
