Business Restructuring & Turnaround

The combination of a stronger prudential supervision of banking institutions and a deregulated finance market has created the conditions for a drastic change in the sources of corporate financing. 

In this complex landscape, it is essential to set up protective measures, both for your business and for your business partners. Our CRI team, with its combined expertise in the relevant legal instruments, finance law and banking law, in association with our partner firms such as Fidal Fiducie, will work with you to build the best-suited solutions for your situation.   

Whether your company’s present or imminent difficulty is of an economic, labor or financial nature, or is specific to your business model, our CRI team assists you in assessing your situation and selecting and implementing the most appropriate procedure, whether amicable (ad hoc mandate or conciliation) or judicial (safeguard, reorganization or liquidation). 

We work with you to develop your external growth project through a court-supervised acquisition, by helping you first identify the ideal target and appropriate partners and then structure the transaction in such a way as to control the risks and ensure a successful takeover.

The scale and complexity of a workforce restructuring can weaken your business. Our team masters the specific regulations and HR support tools (redeployment, training) required to successfully carry out such operations.

Whether you are a multinational group whose subsidiaries are in difficulty or a foreign company looking to acquire a French target or dealing with an insolvent business partner, our CRI team has the expertise needed for these complex operations.

Crisis situations spawn special kinds of disputes: civil and criminal liability of directors and officers, shareholder conflicts, labor disputes, tensions with supervisory authorities, unfair competition, etc. Our CRI team’s litigation attorneys, combining responsiveness, mastery of procedural tools and experience before the courts throughout France, are here to assist you.
