Restructuring & insolvency law

Is your company facing financial difficulties? Are you worried about bankruptcy? In such vulnerable and often complex situations, engaging a legal partner who has in-depth expertise in this area is vital. Wijn & Stael is that partner. Thanks to our extensive experience and expertise in insolvency law, we are able to assist companies and financiers with advice before the bankruptcy stage. We are often even able to avert a bankruptcy by working with you to arrange refinancing or implement a restructuring programme. We also understand how to represent your interests in negotiations with all parties concerned, such as banks, the tax authorities, executive directors, participation bodies, shareholders and creditors.

In recent years, district courts have appointed us as trustee in many moratoriums and bankruptcies (including for Landis, Econcern, Meavita and the importer of Gant). We have also been heavily involved in restructuring programmes of organisations in retail, real estate, warehousing, healthcare and the automotive industry. Our attorneys understand the dynamics of such processes like no other and are therefore able to act as very astute sparring partners for shareholders, executive directors and other stakeholders.
