Our <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.avocats-lacombe-brisou.fr\/en\/\">law firm in Toulon<\/a>, specializing in <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.avocats-lacombe-brisou.fr\/droit-des-affaires\/\">business law<\/a>, assists managers of companies in difficulty at every stage, from the very first signs of fragility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Calling on the services of an experienced lawyer allows you to :<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Accurately assess<\/strong> the company&#8217;s financial and legal situation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prevent the risk of<\/strong> managerial liability (particularly in the event of insufficient assets or late declaration of cessation of payments)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Be directed<\/strong> to the most appropriate procedure: ad hoc mandate, conciliation, safeguard, receivership or compulsory liquidation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our support aims to protect the manager, secure decisions and preserve what can be preserved of the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the solutions for a company in difficulty?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Amicable procedures: ad hoc mandate, conciliation<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prior to any legal proceedings, it is often possible to enter into confidential negotiations with creditors, under the supervision of the President of the Commercial Court. <strong>Ad hoc mandates<\/strong> and <strong>conciliation<\/strong> are solutions for preventing business difficulties that our firm regularly implements in Toulon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Backup procedure<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It enables a company in difficulty, but not insolvent, to continue its business under judicial protection. This collective procedure gives access to a plan for the settlement of liabilities, and can lead to a lasting recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Good to know:<\/strong> The safeguard procedure is a preventive measure to avoid suspension of payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Court receivership<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This procedure is designed to ensure the continuity of the company&#8217;s business, even if it has been declared insolvent. Our insolvency law firm in Toulon will assist you at every stage: declaration, drafting of the file, preparation of the plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Court-ordered liquidation<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If recovery is out of the question, liquidation by court order is required to legally close the business, while securing the situation of the manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Restructuring or sale of business<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some cases, the solution involves a partial or total <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.avocats-lacombe-brisou.fr\/droit-des-affaires\/avocat-cession-entreprise\/\">sale of the company<\/a>, or a legal restructuring. Our firm can also support you in these alternative strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Risks to be anticipated by the manager<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a company director, you may be held personally liable, particularly in the event of mismanagement, late declaration of suspension of payments or insufficient assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Type of risk<\/th><th>Consequences<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Mismanagement<\/strong><\/td><td>Management ban<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Late declaration<\/strong><\/td><td>Order to bear all or part of liabilities<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Insufficient assets<\/strong><\/td><td>Tax and social penalties<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our mission is also to protect you personally in the face of these challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can our Toulon law firm help you?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our team offers you tailor-made legal support, whether you&#8217;re a craftsman, shopkeeper, small business owner, company director or self-employed professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our services cover :<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Financial and legal analysis<\/strong> of your situation (full audit)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Confidential negotiations<\/strong> with your creditors, including in the context of an ad hoc mandate or conciliation procedure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Managing collective procedures<\/strong> before the Toulon Commercial Court: safeguard, recovery or liquidation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Preparing the<\/strong> necessary legal and financial <strong>documents<\/strong> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Defending the executive<\/strong> against potential sanctions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We intervene in the Var and PACA regions, for companies in suspension of payments, or in prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions about support for companies in difficulty<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When should you declare a suspension of payments?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As soon as your company can no longer meet its debts with its available assets. You have <strong>45 days<\/strong> to make this declaration, unless an ad hoc mandate or conciliation procedure has been initiated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the difference between receivership and liquidation?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aim of <strong>receivership<\/strong> is to ensure business continuity. <strong>Liquidation<\/strong> organizes its closure when no recovery plan can be envisaged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is an ad hoc mandate?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an amicable, confidential and preventive procedure, which enables the company director to negotiate with his creditors with the help of a court-appointed trustee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can a company in difficulty be saved?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, as long as you intervene early. There are legal solutions for restructuring, rescheduling debts or selling off part of the business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the manager&#8217;s role during insolvency proceedings?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The manager often continues to manage the company under court supervision. He or she must actively cooperate with the bodies involved in the proceedings (court-appointed administrator, trustee, court). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact a lawyer to help your company in difficulty in Toulon<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is your company going through a difficult period?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t be left alone to face the legal, financial and human challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avocats-lacombe-brisou.fr\/en\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"29407\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Contact our law firm in Toulon<\/strong><\/a> for a confidential initial diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We support you at every stage of out-of-court or insolvency proceedings to preserve your business and protect your interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get a confidential diagnosis<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safeguard your business and protect your interests<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our other business law services<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avocats-lacombe-brisou.fr\/droit-des-affaires\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Business law lawyer Toulon<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avocats-lacombe-brisou.fr\/droit-des-affaires\/avocat-creation-entreprise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lawyer company creation Toulon<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avocats-lacombe-brisou.fr\/en\/commercial-contracts-drafting-negotiating-and-managing-disputes\/contrats-commerciaux-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Commercial contracts lawyer Toulon<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avocats-lacombe-brisou.fr\/droit-des-affaires\/avocat-reprise-entreprise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Company takeover lawyer<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avocats-lacombe-brisou.fr\/droit-des-affaires\/transmission\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Family business transfer<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avocats-lacombe-brisou.fr\/droit-des-affaires\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Corporate lawyer Toulon<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specialized procedures<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avocats-lacombe-brisou.fr\/droit-des-affaires\/plan-sauvegarde-entreprise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Company backup plan<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avocats-lacombe-brisou.fr\/droit-des-affaires\/contrats-commerciaux\/redaction\/pacte-dassocies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Partnership agreement<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avocats-lacombe-brisou.fr\/droit-des-affaires\/contrats-commerciaux\/redaction\/cession-de-parts-sociales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Transfer of shares<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why consult a lawyer when your business runs into difficulties?
