How we can help

To effectively address your questions, we will assemble a multidisciplinary team with the required expertise - from corporate law, tax and finance, to litigation. Being part of a full-service and international firm also allows us to scale up if necessary. Our team supports bondholders, lenders, investors, debtors, shareholders, creditors, alternative investment fund managers, distressed companies and their management, and principal stakeholders, including in the investment fund context, with assistance and tailor-made advice in restructuring (whether or not internal) and insolvency situations.

All areas covered

You can count on us to deal with all issues related to debt restructuring and distressed (re)financing, whether through equity cures, waiver preparations, or enforcement of security rights by lenders, or otherwise. We also advise in debtor protection proceedings, enforcement proceedings or any other type of insolvency proceedings.

Financing solutions are multiplying and the legal implications relating to financial products are becoming more complex.
The need to raise funds for growth is essential for most companies and financial institutions.
Our litigation teams focus on the most appropriate form of dispute resolution, in and outside of court, from arbitration to mediation. Always looking for the best possible outcome.
As an international organisation, you face many challenges, from ever-changing regulations to complex cross-border transactions and beyond.
The Netherlands Commercial Court (and the Netherlands Commercial Court of Appeal (NCC(A)) aims to provide an efficient resolution to international business disputes.
The WHOA is a pre-insolvency debtor-in-possession scheme proceeding, which allows the debtor to impose a restructuring plan on dissenting (classes of) creditors and shareholders.
