We help buyers take over companies or assets "à la barre".

We structure the offer according to your objectives: optimizing positioning before the court and procedural bodies, securing the assets taken over, excluding debts, taking over contracts and/or leasehold rights, customer files, employees, etc.

We analyze the target company's situation to make the most of procedural levers and position you at the right time (pre-pack sale, sale plan, acquisition of individual assets, etc.).

Suppliers faced with a client in receivership or liquidation are faced with strict rules for organizing the payment of debts ("liability freeze").

Our restructuring lawyers can help you anticipate unpaid debts arising from bankruptcy or insolvency, secure your receivables and recover sums of money or equipment.

We intervene to protect your rights and maximize your chances of recovery.

Frequently Asked
Questions

I'm thinking of taking over the bar: should I consult a lawyer beforehand?

Yes, absolutely. Before approaching the administrator or negotiating financing, we validate the legal feasibility of the operation, the assets that can really be sold, the social constraints and the deadlines.
A solid framework upstream avoids blind spots in the takeover bid.

When to initiate an amicable procedure (mandat ad hoc or conciliation)?

From the very first serious tensions: pressure from creditors, bank refusal, disagreement between partners.
These confidential procedures enable you to negotiate under the aegis of a trustee without triggering a public alert. We can help you structure and secure the process.

What strategy should I adopt if I have to sell my business in a tense environment?

There are alternatives to filing for bankruptcy. We can help you prepare a secure sale: pre-pack sale, sale plan, partial carve-out...
The aim is to preserve the value of assets, organize the transition and limit the manager's exposure.

Can a manager in liquidation be avoided?

Yes, if the decisions were taken in good time and documented.
We can help you anticipate the risks of personal liability, demonstrate your good faith and limit the consequences (payment of liabilities, management ban, etc.).

Is support limited to legal issues?

We work alongside Jaberson Conseil consultants, particularly in crisis management situations. Their intervention enables us to assess the social climate, understand the company's internal dynamics and support the management team more effectively at sensitive stages: dialogue with teams, communication, operational management.
