Insolvency Law
Insolvency law is a minefield. One wrong step can have unforeseeable consequences. This applies not only to the company that has gone insolvent, but also to the insolvency creditors who still have claims against the insolvent company and do not want to write them off completely. Gronvald Attorneys has built up extensive expertise in advising insolvency creditors, but also in defending against claims by the insolvency administrator.
