In this new episode of our Fil Rouge series, restructuring lawyers from ADVANT Altana explore the legal and financial challenges businesses can face during an LBO, from early warning signs to restructuring options and strategic solutions.

They explain the key issues for companies, shareholders, lenders and investors, and highlight how anticipating difficulties can help preserve value and support long-term recovery.

The group will continue to operate the facilities under a long-term lease.

The team was led by Pierre-Marie Ouchet and Amélie Pinçon, partners, with Elise Kosman, counsel.
