破产与重组

Clyde & Co provides timely, sensitive and commercially focused advice when clients are involved in insolvencies and restructurings, either as creditor or debtor, and regardless of jurisdiction.

Support at every stage of the insolvency process.

We act for clients of all sizes, whatever their involvement in an insolvency or restructuring situation. We have experience of national and international regulation and are adept at navigating through complex cross-jurisdiction scenarios.

Our priority is always to develop a close understanding of the client’s circumstances and objectives. This enables us to provide tailored advice and support throughout the process.

We have extensive experience of contentious and non-contentious cases, including consensual restructurings. We act for companies, liquidators, trustees, administrators, financiers and pension schemes, always using our deep sectoral knowledge to ensure our advice is pragmatic and relevant.

We are acutely aware of changes in the risk landscape and use our expertise to help clients respond to challenges and opportunities as they arise. This could include supporting an organisation’s general counsel in taking on more responsibility for risk assessment, crisis management and ethical leadership.

We understand that litigation poses a difficult challenge for insolvent and distressed companies. We can guide clients through litigation funding for claims if the company is in liquidation or under any other insolvency proceeding.

We also provide guidance on the potential impact of wider commercial developments, such as the rapidly accelerating technologies that are associated with blockchain, smart contracts and artificial intelligence.
