GCM LEGAL has extensive experience in insolvency (sometimes called “bankruptcy”) and restructuring issues that affect individuals and companies.
Insolvency is not only for a financially distressed company or individual, but it is also invaluable to commercial restructuring and streamlining.
Insolvency for an individual is called “sequestration” and for a company is called “liquidation”.
There are 2 principal forms of insolvency: friendly/voluntary and hostile.
Insolvency and litigation are often cross-over areas of practice.
