RESTRUCTURING
Over decades, we have built up an unrivalled insolvency practice. Our litigators have the expertise and authority to litigate at the Dutch Supreme Court, and our lawyers regularly act as bankruptcy trustees or administrators in insolvency proceedings. Our Restructuring & Insolvency Team is considered as the market leader in the Netherlands. The team has been internationally recognised for many years now and is consistently highly ranked in international legal guides such as Chambers, Legal 500 and IFLR1000.
In recent years, the team has played a leading role in almost all of the trend-setting cases in the market. It was involved in complex, high-profile financial insolvencies, including Oi, OSX/OGX, SwissAir, Van der Hoop Bankiers, V&D, DSB Bank, Lehman Brothers, Yukos, Joh. Enschedé, Landsbanki and Agrokor.
Our team works closely with experts in practice areas such as M&A, Banking & Finance and Tax.
