BUSINESS LITIGATION AND RESTRUCTURING

Prevention and dealing with your challenges: effective aid

Many external factors which may or may not be predictable can lead the company to be in a difficult financial situation. Competition from low-cost countries, the loss of a significant customer, insolvent clients, a challenge from a new competing technology, failure of machinery, too rapid growth... The phenomenon of crisis is an integral part of business life and leaders must surround themselves with experts who will help them urgently to assess the seriousness of the situation and to develop solutions to ensure the survival of the company. The sooner the difficulties are identified upstream, the greater the room for manoeuvre to decide and finance any necessary restructuring.

LAMY LEXEL accompanies you in the management of these critical situations which affect the human factor just as much as the financial factor. We start by helping you to diagnose the situation by combining our different fields of expertise (accounting, tax, social, legal), in collaboration with your accountants or your financial management.

From this point, we can assess the seriousness of the situation and its potential  impact on the personal situation of the senior management (family, patrimony, etc.) and guide you through the various steps to be taken:

  • Development of the strategy and definition of the plan of action

  • Choice and launch of the appropriate procedure, amicable negotiation with partners, ad hoc mandate, conciliation or bankruptcy proceedings (backup, recovery or liquidation, prepack-cession)

  • Setting  up contact with intermediaries adapted to the situation

  • Assistance in the negotiation of solutions

  • Drafting of the protocols of agreement for bringing the difficulties to a conclusion

  • Presentation of the solution before the chosen court

We also defend you when the management is accused personally (due to lack of management, coverage of liabilities, prohibition to manage, etc.).
