What problems can be solved through bankruptcy?

  • Collection of problematic or “bad” debts. This is ensured by two instruments, access to which is provided by the bankruptcy procedure. 1) The possibility of holding the owner or manager of the debtor enterprise to subsidiary or joint liability for its debts. 2) Recognizing the debtor’s transactions as invalid and subsequent return of property or funds withdrawn from the enterprise.
  • Liquidation of an enterprise that has debts. Bankruptcy is the only way to liquidate an enterprise which debts exceed the amount of its assets. For the debtor, the advantage of the bankruptcy procedure is that the result of the procedure is the write-off of all its debts.
  • Settlement of corporate conflicts. By appointing an independent arbitration manager as the manager of the debtor enterprise, the creditor gains actual control over this enterprise with the possibility of access to information about the movement of funds in bank accounts and transactions made by the enterprise.

Stages of the bankruptcy process of legal entities
 

The bankruptcy process in Ukraine consists of several key stages. Each stage requires detailed attention and professional legal support.

  • Assessment of the company's financial condition. At this stage, it is important to analyze the company's assets, liabilities, debt obligations and financial history. Our law firm provides services for a comprehensive assessment of the financial condition, which helps to determine the optimal course of further action.
  • Settlement or restructuring. According to the law, before filing for bankruptcy, it is possible to negotiate with creditors for concluding a settlement agreement. Such an agreement allows to avoid the formal procedure and reach concert on reducing or deferring debt.
  • Recognition as bankrupt. If restructuring or a settlement agreement are impossible, the case goes to court. At this stage, we ensure applying of all necessary documents, participation in appointment of an arbitration and court hearings. We provide full legal support of the process, representing the client's interests in court and ensuring compliance of all actions with the legislation of Ukraine.
  • Liquidation or rehabilitation. Depending on the results of the bankruptcy case, the company may be liquidated or rehabilitated (reorganized). Liquidation means the complete closure of the enterprise and the sale of its assets to cover debts. Rehabilitation, in turn, involves restoring the company's solvency and continuing its activities.
