The group at De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek offers its clients advice on the full scope of insolvency and restructuring matters in international and domestic contexts. Financing and corporate reorganisation are areas the team frequently advises on, as are claw-back risks, stakeholder management and board fiduciary duties. Further, it is well-placed to advise on bet-the-company restructuring matters. Acting in high-stakes liability litigation in matters at Supreme Court and Court of Appeal level is also an area of focus of the practice. Distressed finance and restructuring deals are areas of expertise of ‘sound advisor’ Ferdinand Hengst who heads up the offering with Bas Boutellier, an experienced partner handling public and private debt financing cases. Corporate litigator Jeroen van der Schrieck is another key member of the team.
