Banking law

Acting for companies and their executives

The firm assists companies, their executives and shareholders in disputes with credit institutions: challenges to personal guarantees, liability of the bank for breach of its duty to warn, termination of credit facilities, and disputes over fees and interest rates.

We also assist companies in their negotiations with their banking partners when they are going through a difficult period.

Acting for financial institutions

The firm acts for banks, credit institutions and leasing and financial-lease companies, in both advisory and litigation matters.

It assists them in debt recovery and the enforcement of their security (personal guarantees, pledges, mortgages), in filing and monitoring their claims in insolvency proceedings, and in claiming and recovering assets financed under leasing or financial-lease agreements.

It also defends them against liability claims brought by borrowers, guarantors or insolvency officeholders (duty to warn, granting or termination of credit, wrongful financial support) and assists them in drafting and securing their contracts and security.
