We advise French and international clients at every stage of complex restructuring and insolvency situations. Our team acts for corporate groups, debtors, shareholders, creditors, and investors in both preventive and distressed contexts, with a strong focus on preserving value and managing risk.
We combine deep technical expertise in French insolvency law with a pragmatic, deal-driven approach, allowing us to intervene early, structure efficient solutions, and navigate high-stakes situations with clarity and precision.
Our experience covers all aspects of restructuring and insolvency matters, including:
● Preventive and pre-insolvency proceedings, such as mediation and conciliation, as well as proceedings before the relevant French authorities, including the CIRI (Interministerial Committee for Industrial Restructuring)
● Formal insolvency proceedings, including safeguard, accelerated safeguard (financial safeguard), reorganization, and liquidation proceedings
● Distressed M&A transactions, on both the buy-side and sell-side, including pre-pack transactions, conciliation-based sales, and court-approved sale plans
● Structuring, negotiation, and implementation of restructuring plans, including safeguard and continuation plans
● Representation of management and shareholders in liability and mismanagement claims arising in distressed situations
We regularly work alongside financial advisors, investment funds, and other stakeholders, and are accustomed to handling sensitive situations where legal, financial, and reputational issues intersect.
