Insolvency and restructuring
Do you need support and help with company debt issues? We are happy to advise you on the steps to take. An insolvency lawyer can help reduce your worries. Our insolvency law team at JPR consists of six receivers, four of whom are members of INSOLAD, a specialist association. We advise companies in challenging situations and help organisations wishing to file for bankruptcy on behalf of a debtor.
How can we help?
Insolvency law includes various procedures surrounding debt issues. At JPR, we are familiar with all facets of insolvency law – from the side of the receivership as well as that of the entrepreneur, the financier, and the creditor. We have already successfully completed many so-called WHOA processes for clothing brands, construction companies, and hospitality companies. We have also settled more than a thousand bankruptcies and moratoriums. We have assisted interior and furniture construction companies, healthcare institutions, publishers, retail companies, and IT companies.
Insolvency law consists of various topics, such as:
- Bankruptcy
- Suspension of payments
- Homologation Act (WHOA in the Netherlands)
Our specialists in insolvency and restructuring
Why engage an insolvency lawyer from JPR?
JPR employs specialist lawyers with knowledge of the rules, laws, and regulations that apply to insolvency matters. The reality is that all entrepreneurs will have to deal with these matters at some point, perhaps because a customer or supplier has declared bankruptcy or because you are having trouble paying your own debts. A specialist insolvency lawyer from JPR can provide guidance and advice on various situations.
Our advice is practical and transparent, but also with personal attention. We know the inside ropes and are in close contact with other receivers and administrators, both on a personal level and through the specialist association. We work with great commitment, efficient work processes, predictable costs, and realistic fees.
When might you engage an insolvency lawyer?
An insolvency lawyer can guide companies that are in dire straits. For instance, they can help you make choices. They can also work to prevent a possible bankruptcy. An insolvency lawyer does this on the basis of a clear analysis of the company and will, if possible, offer advice as soon as possible. Sometimes, restructuring or mediation with creditors will prove necessary. You might also engage an insolvency lawyer when seeking a bankruptcy order against a debtor.
As an insolvency process is a hectic and turbulent phase for companies, we provide the necessary calm and order. After all, you have to deal with many different legal issues. Our roles can include:
- Acting as receiver in insolvencies and administrator in moratoriums
- Acting as a lawyer, adviser, or restructuring expert in WHOA cases;
- Advising directors and supervisory directors in liability cases;
- Litigating in respect of directors' liability and pauliana;
- Advising and counselling stakeholders in the event of (imminent) bankruptcy or financial distress.
