We advise on

Over the years, we have organised a number of the largest restructuring processes and bankrupt estates in Denmark and handled a range of the most complex legal issues, both nationally and internationally. At the request of Danish and foreign creditors and distressed companies, the members of the group also act as:

• Restructuring administrators, including in connection with voluntary arrangements with the creditors
• Trustees in bankrupt estates
• Liquidators.

John Sommer Schmidt and Preben Jakobsen have been appointed official liquidator and trustee of the Bankruptcy Court in Aarhus and the Bankruptcy Court of the Maritime and Commercial High Court, respectively.

In cooperation with our Dispute Resolution practice group, the members of the group on a current basis conduct cases, included avoidance proceedings and cases concerning collection of and securing accounts receivable and other rights.
