Insolvency & Restructuring

When organizations face challenging business circumstances, stakeholders often need to act quickly and decisively. In these circumstances, expert legal counsel can make all the difference to ensuring one’s interests are protected.

WeirFoulds acts for a range of stakeholders – including a successful history of advising secured and unsecured creditors, debtor-in-possession (DIP) lenders, debtors, suppliers, boards of directors, purchasers, receivers, interim receivers, Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) monitors, bankruptcy trustees and Chapter 11 creditors’ committees. We handle all aspects of insolvency and restructuring proceedings. We  advise on creditors’ rights and debtor-in-possession financings, act for clients in plans of arrangements, negotiate the purchase and sale of distressed companies, and develop recovery strategies and recapitalization plans. Our insolvency and restructuring practice also extends to the Caribbean with an emphasis on matters concerning asset recovery.

We take a multi-disciplinary approach to our insolvency files, engaging our corporate, tax, securities, intellectual property, pensions, and employment law experts as necessary to ensure clients receive expert advice that is tailored to their needs.
