Insolvency law
Creditor defence in insolvency proceedings: proof and recognition of claims, insolvency qualification, Pauline action and reintegration of assets into the active estate. Strategic approach to maximise the creditor's position and protect recovery prospects.
How we work
Our methodology for this service
Proof and recognition of the claim
We identify and prove the client's claim before the insolvency administrator in due time and form, with the documentation needed to achieve the most favourable classification — ordinary, privileged or secured.
Challenging the creditors' list
We review the classification assigned to the client's claim and, if unfavourable, lodge the appropriate challenge to maximise their position in the payment order.
Clawback and Pauline actions
We analyse asset transfers made by the insolvent party before the insolvency declaration and bring the necessary clawback actions to recover assets that must be returned to the active estate.
Monitoring and recovery in the plan or liquidation
We closely monitor the restructuring plan negotiations or liquidation process to ensure the client receives payment within the established timescales and proportions, acting on any irregularity.
Who this is for
Financial institutions, suppliers and trade creditors with claims against companies in insolvency proceedings. Also investors acquiring insolvency claims who need active position management to maximise recovery.
