When a company gets into financial difficulty, all parties involved experience much uncertainty. There is often a lot at stake and many interests and factors to take into account. Sometimes the business can be rescued using the right measures, while in other cases a rescue is not possible, and winding up of the business is the only option. The key is finding a solution that mitigates financial losses as much as possible.

We aim to achieve solutions that create value for our clients, focusing on the legal, commercial and political framework that governs the client’s choices. In addition, we have developed Konkursportalen.dk, a dynamic digital tool ensuring that all parties with an interest in specific bankruptcy proceedings are able to keep track of the administration of the insolvent estate. One of the objectives of the portal is to increase transparency in bankruptcy proceedings and to align expectations between the trustee in bankruptcy and the creditors as regards the issue of how to address the individual estate administration aspects.
