strategies for companies in financial difficulty and advising
insolvency practitioners, stakeholders and banks on a wide range of
insolvency issues.
The Group is organised on a cross-departmental basis throughout the
firm’s offices, bringing together the considerable expertise of the
group’s members in addressing insolvency related issues specific to
the different practice areas and particular industry sectors within
each of the jurisdictions and on a cross-border basis.
Lawyers in each of our European offices are very experienced in
providing advice and guidance, in all of the various practice areas
mentioned below, in relation to the particular laws in each
