Complex situations. Decisions that cannot be deferred.

Corporate distress and restructuring in complex contexts.

We act when the margin for error narrows and the quality of the decision becomes determinative.

This occurs when certain choices have already begun to reduce the available options.

When certain decisions are deferred, specific solutions may no longer remain available.

When we act

Not every situation demands
immediate action.
Some, however, do not allow for delay.

The firm acts when business continuity is at concrete risk, when the debt position requires rapid technical guidance, or when certain options are about to close.

The initial consultation clarifies whether operational margins still exist, which instruments are realistically available and which decisions cannot be deferred.

Areas of Practice

The core focus is corporate distress, restructuring and situations where the margin for intervention is narrowing. The remaining areas complete the coverage of business law.

Core focus

The Method

How a critical phase is managed

Four phases.
A governed path.

In restructuring law, the difference lies not only in knowing the available instruments, but in understanding when a choice remains practicable, when it no longer does and how to construct a path that holds.

1
Assessment

Technical analysis of the debt, asset and procedural position. Rapid reading of the real issue, distinct from its formal presentation.

2
Strategy

Selection of the instrument most consistent with the objectives, timeline and sustainability of the position.

3
Structuring

Structured preparation of documentation and the negotiation or litigation strategy. Technical rigour in every filing and interaction.

4
Execution

Management of decisive stages before creditors or the judicial authority.

Adequate organisational,
administrative
and accounting frameworks.

Art. 2086, para. 2, Civil Code
An entrepreneur operating in corporate form is required to establish adequate organisational frameworks, including for the timely detection of financial distress and loss of business continuity.

Adequate organisational frameworks are now an essential instrument for preventing crisis and maintaining governance control. Their absence can limit the capacity for intervention in periods of difficulty.

Operational support in the design, implementation and monitoring of organisational frameworks.

Art. 2086 c.c. — rewritten by the CCII — has made crisis prevention a codified management obligation. The entrepreneur must structure the business so that signs of imbalance emerge before the crisis becomes irreversible.

Non-compliance exposes directors to civil liability towards the company and creditors, with possible extension to supervisory bodies that failed to exercise adequate oversight. In insolvency proceedings, the absence of adequate frameworks is a material factor in assessing directors' conduct.

ADO Legal assists entrepreneurs and management bodies in the design and review of organisational frameworks: from mapping decision-making processes to introducing early warning indicators, from internal reporting systems to information flows to statutory auditors — support calibrated to the specific reality of the business.
