1. DLA PIPER ITALY
Insolvency team
In a sluggish economy, no area of business is immune from insolvency or bankruptcy issues. In Italy,
as in other European countries, the economic crisis has made it crucial for companies to implement
reorganization proceedings for their survival. Not only the ordinary bankruptcy proceedings
(generally aimed at winding up), but also the alternative instruments introduced and fine-tuned
by the recent reforms (judicial compositions with creditors, debt restructuring agreements,
reorganization plans, and so forth), have become vital.
The evolution of the economy and the investment
opportunities that arise from the market crisis, have
caused some of the most complex and challenging legal
issues ever seen, and our specialists have delivered
innovative solutions. Each new insolvency experience
gives both the DLA Piper team and the clients we assist
the opportunity to start afresh in a smarter way.
The DLA Piper Italy insolvency team assists companies
in finding and executing suitable solutions to insolvency
issues. Our team has gained broad expertise in
out-of-court and litigation aspects of insolvency and
restructuring proceedings, as well as in handling
cross-border insolvencies.
We work closely with account consultants and corporate
advisors, combining technical capability with the ability to
apply smart business insight to any given situation.
Our vast experience in all types of corporate
restructuring and insolvency, coupled with a deep
understanding of the needs of clients in this area,
position us as the most suitable legal advisor when it is
necessary to find practical and effective solutions for our
clients’ interests, either through the optimal use of the
existing legal frameworks to facilitate restructurings, or
by identifying the ideal instruments best suited for our
clients’ needs.
Moreover, having operated for a number of years in this
area, we have acquired ample knowledge of bankruptcy,
bankruptcy litigations & arbitration proceedings, which
permits us to tackle complex and distressed situations.
