Insolvency and Restructuring

When a business faces illiquidity or insolvency, speed, decisiveness, and trustworthiness are crucial for a successful handling of the situation. In particular, this relates to the refinancing or sale of the divisions of the business that are or will be profitable and the winding up of the rest of the business, including the best possible realisation of assets.

In addition to profound legal knowledge and experience, speed, decisiveness, and trustworthiness are exactly what NORDIA contributes to the situation, and NORDIA is normally able to negotiate and implement a solution with owners, banks, suppliers, tax authorities, customers, employees, and other stakeholders, to the benefit of all parties involved.
