Contract Restructuring to Preserve Business Continuity

In a financial crisis, acting early changes the options available to companies and creditors. Financial restructuring should protect essential supply, property occupancy and service relationships while obligations are renegotiated.

What to keep in mind

Identify critical counterparties, performance needs, cure plans, revised prices, guarantees and the effects of insolvency rules.

Unplanned contract terminations may undermine the company's ability to recover.

Distinctions often confused

Renegotiating a contract does not automatically eliminate existing breaches or third-party rights.

Frequently asked questions

Can a supplier be asked to continue deliveries during restructuring?
Yes through negotiation, subject to law and mutually acceptable protections.
Must every contract be treated the same way?
