Options for action by creditors

Suppliers and institutional creditors may be severely affected by their business partners’ insolvency., We develop strategies jointly with you to reduce impending losses and to maintain sustainable business relationships.

Distressed investing/Non-performing loans (NPLs)

Corporate crises usually offer opportunities to gain new stakeholders, either because creditors shy away from the increased risk caused by their debtor’s crisis and are willing to transfer their (possibly distressed) claims to new creditors, or because new investors are willing to invest fresh capital in the crisis company. We advise financial investors on acquiring (defaulted) claims from and on investing equity capital in crisis companies, to support the company in adapting or realigning its group of stakeholders.

Litigation

We also advise and represent clients in litigation, in particular in: 

• defending criminal and liability claims
• defending insolvency contestation 
• enforcing claims by insolvency administrators and creditors
