Companies in difficulty

Anticipating and managing your company’s difficulties to ensure its continuity

Our team specialised in the law concerning companies in difficulty assists all types of companies, from very small to medium-sized companies, throughout France, including in the overseas departments and territories. We assist at every step of the crisis management process to prevent or resolve complex situations using appropriate procedures. We protect our clients’ interests and implement effective solutions to ensure the recovery and continuity of their activities.

We work before the competent courts to help companies negotiate moratoria on their tax and social debts. In some cases, we call on the services of restructuring and corporate financial difficulty prevention commissioners or of the Credit Mediator. We are also experts in the management of ad hoc mandate and conciliation procedures, which involve negotiations with private creditors, including financial institutions, and the implementation of memoranda of understanding in order to stabilise the company’s financial position.

In the most critical instances, we assist with safeguard and judicial settlement procedures, developing repayment plans that reflect the company’s needs and abilities. We also assist clients with the takeover of companies in difficulty, either in the context of collective insolvency procedures or through asset sales negotiated in advance (pre-pack administration sales), safeguarding every step of the transaction. Finally, we manage all disputes related to collective insolvency procedures, including the statement of claim, the appointment of an auditor, claims for the return of goods or directors’ liability.

The cornerstones of our approach are our exemplary responsiveness and continuous communication with our clients, which have been our team’s hallmarks for over 40 years.

We offer attentive guidance and the utmost transparency in our processes, and work closely with accountants and auditors to ensure that our clients’ files are examined from every angle.
