It involves restructuring the company's activities and debts, selling or closing down unprofitable businesses and transferring activities to profitable businesses. The district court approves the restructuring plan, which usually involves cutting debts and drawing up a new payment plan for the remaining debts. The company will be forgiven if it is able to comply with the restructuring plan.<\/p>\n<p>Business restructuring can save a viable company in financial difficulties. On the one hand, it provides protection against bankruptcy and, on the other, it is often the last resort to avoid bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_1 et_pb_column et_pb_column_2_5 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_0 et_pb_blurb et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_blurb_position_top et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_content\"><div class=\"et_pb_main_blurb_image\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap et_pb_only_image_mode_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/amoslaki.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lakikirjoja.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amoslaki.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lakikirjoja.jpg 800w, https:\/\/amoslaki.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lakikirjoja-480x383.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" class=\"et-waypoint et_pb_animation_top et_pb_animation_top_tablet et_pb_animation_top_phone wp-image-10632\" alt=\"Tuula Rainto\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_container\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_0_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_0 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/amoslaki.fi\/en\/appointment-calendar\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-icon=\"\ue023\">Book a free initial assessment<\/a><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_1_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_1 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\" href=\"tel:+358102995090\" data-icon=\"\uf879\">Call us 010 299 5090<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_1 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_2 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--0e6b2603-537f-4c46-b342-f2a76e853477\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>It is advisable to file for reorganisation as soon as insolvency threatens, giving your business the best chance of success. Even at the stage when a creditor files for bankruptcy, a reorganisation petition can be filed to obtain protection against bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p>In our experience, the earlier a restructuring application is filed, the better the chances of success. We recommend that you contact us as soon as insolvency is imminent, giving you more time to react.<\/p>\n<p>To be eligible for reorganisation, a company must be insolvent or threatened with insolvency and the company must be capable of being made viable through reorganisation measures. Lawyer Sotka has experience in dozens of reorganisation proceedings; drafting applications, preparing reorganisation plans and litigating these cases in the District Court.<\/p>\n<h2>Bankruptcies and recoveries in the bankruptcy estate<\/h2>\n<p>A company can be declared bankrupt if it is unable to meet its debts. The condition is therefore that the company is insolvent. A company can be declared bankrupt either on its own initiative or at the request of a creditor. Voluntary bankruptcy following an own petition may be appropriate if the bankruptcy is already apparent.<\/p>\n<p>We assist in bankruptcy-related litigation, criminal matters and recovery issues. Recoveries involve the recovery of a payment made by a bankrupt company from a creditor who received the payment before the debtor company went bankrupt. The purpose of recovery is to ensure that a debtor in default does not transfer its assets beyond the reach of its creditors or favour one creditor over another.<\/p>\n<p>Situations where a company's accounts have been neglected before bankruptcy, or the company's assets have been \u2019sheltered\u2019, paying the debts of one creditor and leaving others unpaid, usually involve accounting, tax, debtor dishonesty offences. We also have experience of dealing with these cases in different courts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_2 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_3 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_2_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_2 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/amoslaki.fi\/en\/appointment-calendar\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-icon=\"\ue023\">Book a free initial assessment<\/a><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_3_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_3 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\" href=\"tel:+358102995090\" data-icon=\"\uf879\">Call us 010 299 5090<\/a><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_1 et_pb_blurb et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_blurb_position_top et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_content\"><div class=\"et_pb_main_blurb_image\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap et_pb_only_image_mode_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/amoslaki.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/jari-sotka-ota-yhteytta.jpg\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amoslaki.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/jari-sotka-ota-yhteytta.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/amoslaki.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/jari-sotka-ota-yhteytta-1280x760.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/amoslaki.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/jari-sotka-ota-yhteytta-980x582.jpg 980w, https:\/\/amoslaki.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/jari-sotka-ota-yhteytta-480x285.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1920px, 100vw\" class=\"et-waypoint et_pb_animation_top et_pb_animation_top_tablet et_pb_animation_top_phone wp-image-11850\" alt=\"Tuula Rainto\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_container\"><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_description\"><p>Jari Sotka, <a href=\"mailto:jari.sotka@amoslaki.fi\">jari.sotka@amoslaki.fi<\/a>, <a href=\"tel:0405440610\">040 544 0610<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_column_empty et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"parent":4507,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-11695","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Yrityssaneeraukset ja konkurssit &#8211;
