Restructuring & Insolvency

Advising on all stages of restructuring & insolvency

Our dedicated team of restructuring and insolvency lawyers  advises all types of stakeholders involved in, or impacted by, national and international restructurings and insolvency matters. Through our many years of experience, we have the technical skills and expertise  to guide you through all stages of the restructuring or insolvency process to help achieve the best possible outcome.

We provide pragmatic, commercial, business-focused advice and guidance to clients facing distressed and special situations, in the Netherlands and internationally.

Our lawyers are also regularly being appointed by the Dutch Court as administrator and (preliminary) bankruptcy trustee in high-profile insolvency proceedings. Our knowledge and experience of both (debt) restructurings and acting as court-appointed bankruptcy trustees, makes CMS uniquely positioned to advise all stakeholders facing distressed and special situations
