03 — Common mistakes

We protect you from the mistakes that make an insolvency worse

They are the ones that turn a blameless insolvency into a culpable one, and a company problem into a personal one.

  1. Carrying on trading for months while insolvent

    There are two months to apply for insolvency from when the insolvency is known, or should have been known. Delaying makes the classification worse.

  2. Paying some creditors ahead of others

    Payments that break the equal treatment of creditors can be set aside within the insolvency.

  3. Selling assets to connected persons

    Transactions with shareholders or family members in the previous two years are examined closely.

  4. Failing to file the accounts

    Not drawing them up, not auditing them or not filing them in any of the last three years raises a presumption, unless the contrary is proved, that the insolvency is culpable.

  5. Turning up with no documents

    Without an inventory, a list of creditors and accounts, the application is delayed and loses credibility.

  6. Using pre-insolvency without negotiating

    The notice of negotiations protects you, but only if you genuinely negotiate with the creditors.

04 — Questions

What people ask us before they instruct us

One caused or made worse by the intent or gross negligence of the debtor or its directors. If the insolvency ends in liquidation, they can be ordered to cover all or part of the shortfall out of their own assets.

Yes. The company carries on operating, with the insolvency administrator involved, and the going concern can be sold to save the business and the jobs.

Their wages have priority and FOGASA covers part of what is outstanding, subject to limits. Collective measures are decided within the insolvency proceedings.

It depends on the size of the company and on whether there are assets to liquidate. We give you a written quote before we start.

Corporate insolvency opens an uncertain road for a company's survival. It is not easy at those moments to take the right decisions.

That is why at Escalera & Tuset we bring everything we know about insolvency law to bear for companies going through a critical period and wanting to survive.

As insolvency law professionals we advise on every related process: from refinancing debt to investing in insolvency assets and liabilities, by way of defending creditors' rights and restructuring corporate groups.

Mechanisms in insolvency law

The mechanisms of insolvency law are the legal tools available for facing a company crisis. Insolvency proceedings are the best known. There are, however, other mechanisms that may suit better in some cases so as to avoid the risks and the costs that come with court insolvency proceedings: mechanisms such as an out-of-court settlement or refinancing agreements. Putting them in place could simplify the situation enormously.

Escalera & Tuset has a long track record in insolvency advice. As well as our knowledge of commercial law, we have a practical perspective on corporate insolvency. That lets us make more accurate diagnoses and set out the strategy and steps that best suit each particular case. Because every case is unique.
