The-Neutrals

Insolvency

When businesses fail, fairness must prevail.

Insolvency and bankruptcy disputes affect not only debtors and creditors but also employees, investors, and entire communities. Courts often mean delay and value erosion. THE NEUTRALS provide independent, impartial processes that protect value, ensure fairness, and resolve conflicts efficiently during financial distress.

  • Ensure fairness among creditors and stakeholders.
  • Confidential processes safeguard reputations.
  • Reduce costs and delays in insolvency proceedings.
  • Operate with certainty in cross-border contexts.
  • Preserve jobs and community stability while resolving financial distress.
  • Independent Oversight: Neutrals act as evaluators, monitors, or facilitators in insolvency proceedings.
  • Mediation: Facilitate creditor-debtor negotiations to avoid lengthy litigation.
  • Expert Determination: Independent valuation and assessment of claims.
  • Cross-Border Frameworks: Specialized neutrals for multi-jurisdiction insolvency cases.
  • Prevention Protocols: Early intervention in distressed companies to avoid collapse.
  • Restructuring Mediation: Facilitate consensus on reorganization plans before liquidation.
  • Stakeholder Forums: Bring together creditors, investors, employees, and regulators in a neutral space.
