Insolvency law
When a company faces financial difficulties, a fast and accurate diagnosis is decisive. As both a court-appointed receiver and attorney I work in insolvency cases every day and know the terrain from both sides.
Two perspectives on the same case.
Since 2016 I have served as a receiver at the Dutch-speaking Business Court in Brussels. That mandate gives me daily insight into what courts and receivers do and do not accept, which steps must happen in time and what risks directors and shareholders face.
As an attorney I use that knowledge to arm business owners early enough. There is often more room to manoeuvre than initially thought, provided action is taken in time.
