The key to successful restructuring proceedings is a development of an appropriate strategy and a skilful planning.

We will help you avoid crisis situations, bankruptcy and enforcement proceedings.

Running a business is a constant search for new solutions. Dynamic situation on the market makes entrepreneurs be flexible and very often take risky decisions. The above is in line with the principles governing properly operating market economy, where any failure would be handled by an adequate legal system.

In response to those needs there was passed the Restructuring Law, which, thanks to effective legal tools applied by restructuring advisors and restructuring companies, permits avoiding or limiting consequences of bankruptcy, and simultaneously attempting to secure the creditors’ rights.

New instruments given to restructuring advisors, permit minimising negative effects of a potential or actual insolvency, faced by both entrepreneurs in trouble and their creditors. This is an absolute novelty to the Polish legal system as before the Restructuring Law entered into force, financial problems very often had meant the necessity of opening bankruptcy proceedings, which had been an option least desirable for entrepreneurs.
