Insolvency, bankruptcy & restructuring

AEL law firms and lawyers working in this area have extensive experience working as insolvency officers, as well as representing all types of clients affected by insolvency, bankruptcy and restructuring situations, such as trustees, creditors, debtors, and third parties.

Understanding the many different and often competing needs, AEL law firms’ and lawyers’ knowledge and broad experience covers all aspects of the process, from setting up effective strategies and tactical alternatives in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, including reorganization options for creditors or debtors, to litigation and filing of involuntary bankruptcy petitions on behalf of creditors etc..
