Chambers Global and Chambers Europe 2010

"Clients have discovered this modestly sized team as an alternative to the larger firms in the market, saying that it offers quality advice on bankruptcy law and general insolvency matters. "The communication was as good as that of solid international firms," in the words of one client. Areas of activity include insolvency litigation, recovery and restructuring advice, and court appointments. Clients appreciate the team's practicality, saying the lawyers "got the job done without sending us lengthy memos about Dutch insolvency law." Examples of work have included advising a Japanese multinational on the imminent bankruptcy of a Dutch construction company, and providing insolvency-related advice to a US software publisher."


Kennedy Van der Laan is recommended in the Legal 500 2010

 

Insolvency and restructuring

Members of our insolvency and restructuring team act as trustees in complex insolvency procedures. Clients threatened with the bankruptcy of a supplier or bankruptcy of or a suspension of payments by a customer, or faced with financial troubles of its own, draw on that body of insolvency trustee experience. Clients are also helped to avoid the risks of business failure in their supply and customer chains through the use of reliable debt security instruments to support commercial transactions.

Where restructuring of a national or multinational group of companies is necessary for insolvency-related reasons, our clients draw on our considerable legal and notary experience to plan and carry out the restructuring effectively.

The insolvency practice often brings with it the litigation of insolvency-related claims. Our clients benefit in such matter by the experience of our corporate litigation team.
