In a situation involving financial difficulty or insolvency, experience and timely action are of the essence. By exercising judgment based on our experience, we can protect your business interests. We are well-known in the business world and have a reputable, experienced team in the areas of insolvency and restructuring. We have the resources, knowledge and experience necessary to carry out any insolvency or restructuring assignments.

Our lawyers represent all stakeholders affected directly or indirectly by insolvency, including financial institutions, bankruptcy trustees, receivers, liquidators, monitors, creditor companies, financially distressed companies, debtors, and lenders. In addition, our lawyers regularly represent buyers, investors, lenders, and other parties in transactions involving insolvent debtors. As a result, our lawyers are well positioned to assess and address the impact of insolvency on commercial transactions.

Our lawyers work for financial institutions, trustees in bankruptcy, receivers, liquidators, comptrollers, corporate creditors or debtors, and providers of capital. Their expert knowledge of commercial law in the areas of security interests, real estate or litigation under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act and Farm Debt Mediation Act, the Canada Business Corporations Act and the Business Corporations Act, provides them with a creative strategic approach tailored to each situation. Since timely action is often key in this field, experience is clearly an asset.

Our lawyers are recognized by the Canadian Legal Lexpert Directory, Martindale-Hubbell Best Lawyers in Canada, and the National Post. They are involved in the business community and give several talks on insolvency and restructuring. Some of our lawyers are members of the Turnaround Management Association (TMA), a professional community dedicated to strengthening the global economy by assisting companies in financial distress. Over the years, they have taught about security interests, bankruptcy and insolvency in universities and at the École du Barreau du Québec.

We also maintain strong ties with industry stakeholders, whom we regularly consult to benefit our clients.

For any type of insolvency matter, we can provide expert advice and implement innovative strategies and solutions.
