Insolvency, Business Restructuring and Rescue

In Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr's insolvency division, we are mindful of the complexities of the business environment in which our clients operate. We understand the need to balance the requirement for adequate security with the pragmatic realities which relate to commercial transactions. We guide our clients in relation to the introduction and implementation of structures which provide a shield against the potential insolvency of counter parties in commercial transactions.
