Proper business crisis management: legal advice for difficult times

Business crisis and insolvency: words that certainly arouse negative emotions but which, unfortunately, can correspond to a phase in the life of a company that an entrepreneur is called upon to address. Many factors, both internal and external to the company, can in fact cause difficulties, compromising its economic and financial equilibrium. Frequently, the key to overcome these difficult moments lies in facing them in the right way and at the right time, having competent professionals at one’s side. One of the most delicate moments of the business crisis phase is the entrepreneur’s acquisition of the real awareness of the situation and of the need to take action, sometimes even drastic and bankruptcy-like, which is obviously frightening. Campa Avvocati is at the entrepreneur’s side at this important moment, helping him in the timely and careful diagnosis of the crisis that has emerged and its causes, which are essential prerequisites to be able to identify the most correct and effective solution, with the aim of preserving business continuity as a primary value, protecting all those involved, including in particular employees and suppliers, and tackling the crisis from a proactive perspective, while preventing it from becoming an irreversible state of insolvency. All thanks to the expertise of the Firm’s professionals, aided by the various instruments made available by the legal system, based also on its most recent evolutions, oriented precisely towards a timely and early emergence of the crisis and the consequent opportunity for early restructuring and resolution.
Even the crisis can, therefore, offer novelty, changes and prospects to a company, allowing it – if tackled in a timely manner – to identify a new structural, organisational and productive dimension and a repositioning in the market, which may also represent an opportunity for investment and recovery. Crisis brings progress, Albert Einstein reminded us: it’s all about tackling it at the right time and in the right way and, above all, with the right travelling companions.
