Insolvency & restructuring
Deteriorating operational and market conditions may require stakeholders to reassess their business rationale and take difficult decisions.
In our experience, early intervention, supported by expert legal and strategic input advice, is key to optimising the commercial outcome and preserving value.
We deliver the advice clients need to successfully handle complex domestic and multi-jurisdictional restructuring and recovery solutions.
We assist our clients with pragmatic advice on all types of debt restructuring, developing and implementing new financing and security mechanisms, support our clients in managing companies in difficulty, out-of-court and in-court restructurings, capital raises, acquisitions of (assets of) distressed companies, equity-linked transactions, insolvencies, liability management and on all aspects of corporate and insolvency law.
We have been involved in many of the most complex and high-profile high-value restructurings in the Belgian market. As a founding member of BeTA, the Belgium Turnaround Association, we are at the vanguard of turnaround market developments.
Partnering with leading financial and tax advisers, we deliver integrated legal tools and strategies – including structures, techniques, and processes – to support critical strategic choices.
Our support also includes advising directors and company officers on their duties and liabilities and handling interactions with creditors, regulators, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders.
We advise on in- and out of court procedures and related dispute resolution and litigation, calling upon our employment, litigation and other specialist colleagues where required.
Applying wide sector knowledge and expertise, we help our clients achieve an informed decision that protects and enhances value for them, whether they are navigating financial distress or exploring capital solutions.
