Liquidation and restructuring

Dissolution, liquidation, and restructuring review for business transitions

We review paths for closure or restructuring in light of financial condition, creditor and shareholder interests, business viability, and responsibility.

Liquidation and restructuring

Approach

Connecting procedure with practical operations

A business exit connects internal approvals with creditor protection, assets and liabilities, notices and filings, contracts, employment, and tax coordination. Where insolvency may exist, ordinary liquidation and insolvency proceedings must be distinguished.

When this may help

01

Voluntary dissolution

For a solvent company ending operations and winding up its legal affairs

02

Restructuring

For considering business reduction, debt adjustment, or operational reorganization

03

Rehabilitation or bankruptcy

Where insolvency or excess liabilities may require a court-supervised process
