Bankruptcy (bankruptcy specialization)

Do you run a business and find yourself unable to meet your obligations? Or maybe you’re a creditor and want to effectively pursue your claim in the debtor’s bankruptcy proceedings? Our law firm specializes in bankruptcy and restructuring law. We advise on both liquidation bankruptcy and alternative solutions, such as restructuring, pre-pack, and consumer bankruptcy.

We prepare and file bankruptcy petitions on behalf of debtors, partners, and members of company management boards, while ensuring that their interests are protected in court proceedings. We also represent creditors – from filing claims to participating in creditors’ meetings. We also provide support in contacts with the trustee, administrator and court supervisor, ensuring the protection of our clients’ assets at every stage of the proceedings.

KWKR has extensive experience in conducting bankruptcy and restructuring proceedings, both on behalf of debtors and creditors. Our lawyers and restructuring advisors have represented clients in cases involving insolvent companies, sole proprietorships, and complex consumer bankruptcy cases.

We have advised on pre-packaged liquidations, successfully selling entities before they were declared bankrupt. We have supported company management boards in assessing whether there are grounds for filing for bankruptcy and have assisted in implementing alternative solutions, such as simplified restructuring proceedings. We combine legal knowledge with the experience of financial advisors and negotiation support, which translates into real benefits for clients in crisis situations.

Bankruptcy proceedings are complex and require both legal knowledge and experience in working with courts, trustees, and creditors. Cooperation with our law firm guarantees a reliable analysis of the financial situation, a professionally prepared bankruptcy petition, and effective representation of interests – regardless of whether you are a debtor or a creditor.

We help partners assess the risk of financial liability, advise on negotiations with the administrator or court supervisor, and ensure that the proceedings are conducted efficiently and in accordance with the law. As part of our comprehensive service, we also advise on business reorganization and preparation for restructuring proceedings.

The debtor is required to file for bankruptcy within 30 days of becoming insolvent – failure to meet this deadline may result in personal liability for members of the management board. For creditors, on the other hand, timely and correct filing of claims with the court is a prerequisite for the effective pursuit of claims in the proceedings.

Entrepreneurs should be aware that financial liquidity problems do not always mean the end of their business – in many cases, restructuring or a pre-pack is possible, allowing for the sale of an organized part of the business even before formal bankruptcy. It is also worth remembering that every form of proceedings – both consumer bankruptcy and company bankruptcy – requires careful preparation of documentation and active participation in court proceedings. We help assess the financial situation, prepare documentation, and effectively secure the interests of our clients in accordance with the applicable case law.
