Expert assistance helps reduce the risk of personal civil and criminal liability for individuals managing business entities by verifying whether the obligation to file for bankruptcy has arisen, as well as ensuring compliance with other applicable legal requirements.
Product Description
Managers of business entities that have become insolvent are required to file for bankruptcy in a timely manner to avoid personal civil and criminal liability. In borderline cases, determining whether insolvency has already occurred often requires specialist knowledge. Seeking such expertise can help decision-makers assess whether they can continue the company’s operations without risking personal liability or whether they are obliged to file for bankruptcy. This analysis can be especially valuable for newly appointed board members who must quickly assess the company’s financial situation to determine whether they face liability for failing to file the petition on time.
A legal analysis of insolvency will determine whether the conditions triggering the obligation to file for bankruptcy have been met, and if so, within what timeframe. PwC Legal lawyers will review the financial situation of the entity from a legal perspective and provide guidance on any necessary next steps.
Our experienced lawyers and restructuring advisors also offer legal advisory services during the bankruptcy filing process and throughout the ongoing bankruptcy proceedings.
