Disputes & Advisory

Bankruptcy & Insolvency

Preventive settlement, judicial reorganisation, liquidation and creditor recovery under OHADA.

The OHADA Uniform Act organising collective proceedings offers real tools for a business in difficulty, but only if they are used early. We advise directors, creditors and insolvency practitioners on preventive settlement (règlement préventif), judicial reorganisation (redressement judiciaire) and liquidation of assets.

Directors run out of options quietly

By the time cash flow has failed, most preventive routes have closed and personal liability exposure has grown. We would rather have an early, confidential conversation than a late, expensive one.

Creditors: file properly or lose the claim

Collective proceedings impose short claim-filing windows and strict proof requirements. We ensure claims are lodged, secured status is asserted and ranking is protected.

How we help — in concrete terms

  • Preventive settlement applications and conciliation with creditors
  • Judicial reorganisation plans and continuation strategies
  • Liquidation of assets and realisation of security
  • Director liability and wrongful trading exposure
  • Creditor claim filing, ranking and committee representation
  • Cross-border insolvency and asset tracing
