The experiences and understanding of our client's businesses are crucial to reaching the desired outcomes.

Insolvency & Restructuring
When a crisis arises and companies face bankruptcy, debtors, creditors, and business partners must act quickly and decisively to preserve the value of their company, real estate, or investments. This allows them to buy time for stabilization and prevent the negative impacts of insolvency. Above all, it is necessary to create and implement an effective strategy, often under time pressure. We understand that these situations are highly unpleasant and sensitive. Therefore, at Wilsons, we have created a team of experts specializing in this field, utilizing their knowledge and experience to protect the interests of our clients.
Insolvency law is highly formal and must always be followed in strict compliance with regulations. The insolvency law of the Czech Republic is complex, and many questions still arise in its practical application. Lawyers often rely on legal arguments from similar situations addressed in foreign legal systems or general legal approaches. Clients appreciate well-prepared lawyers who have the courage to persuade insolvency judges and administrators of their viewpoint.
In every crisis, there is also an opportunity for new possibilities. There are moments when companies can still be saved, restructured, or reorganized. We have the necessary knowledge and experience to guide you through these challenging times. At Wilsons, we help you seize the hidden opportunities for your company.
Our team of experts navigates clients through complex situations and provides practical solutions to protect their interests. In challenging cases, we identify the appropriate course of action and provide effective assistance. We represent clients in insolvency proceedings, including litigation if necessary.
