Restructuring

Restructuring, implementing power, liability issues

Structuring issues will surface at virtually every stage in the life of a business. Whether a business is grappling with expansion, internationalization or financial hardship, adequate, fast and expert legal assistance is of the essence in each stage. What matters most is that the business is in a position to capitalize on market opportunities, is compliant with changing national and international rules and regulations at all times and has the ability to continue as a going concern.

Meijburg restructuring team

Meijburg Legal’s notaries and lawyers are perfectly placed to provide multidisciplinary assistance and support to clients and offer them structuring and restructuring advice. Clients engage our specialists in both corporate and financial structuring and restructuring projects. Complex legal mergers, demergers and conversions are the order of the day for our team, both in a Dutch and international context. Our practice also comprises structuring transactions involving the acquisition or disposal of business units; this includes performing due diligence reviews to define a client’s legal, tax and financial positions.

Restructuring advisory

Our team advises clients on structuring issues and is responsible for the legal implementation of structures. Our approach is target-oriented and focuses on deliverables.

We also advise clients on how to communicate with the different stakeholders in the structuring or restructuring process. Advising executive and supervisory directors on liability issues is an important part of our service offering as well.

Restructuring, insolvency and execution power

Meijburg Legal’s client base includes large multinationals, family businesses and start-ups. We also regularly provide services to banks, private equity firms and other financiers as part of restructuring programs at their clients and projects, or within the scope of defining legal positions and strengthening and/or enforcing security positions.

Meijburg Legal can also help if insolvency has become inevitable. Our team advises and supports businesses and executives in securing emergency finance and in the insolvency process, including arranging for creditor compositions based on insolvency legislation.

Thanks to the execution power of our specialist notarial services, we can implement our advisory services quickly and efficiently for our clients, while collaborating closely with tax and advisory specialists within our network. Our multidisciplinary teamwork offers us the unique opportunity to act effectively, quickly and decisively in our clients’ interests and to do so covering all relevant angles.
