Rassers is regularly appointed by the court to act as the bankruptcy trustee in major and/or complicated bankruptcy proceedings. But we also help companies and individual directors prevent this from happening in the first place. Our long track record in handling bankruptcies makes us especially well-equipped to assess and anticipate the consequences of financial difficulties.

We advise and litigate in areas such as:

• credit line cancellations by banks and other financiers;
• divestment of loss-making activities and other restructurings;
• negotiations with stakeholders such as banks, creditors, employees, shareholders and tax authorities;
• directors’ powers and liabilities in case of financial difficulties;
• disputes about security and recovery (e.g. actio pauliana).

Speed of action is crucial when financial difficulties are at hand. That is why we opt for a small, agile team in such cases – with a great deal of expert knowledge, short lines and a pragmatic approach. They have the pluck and ready knowledge to make clear choices in overwhelming situations.
