INSOLVENCY LAW

If a company, organisation or person encounters liquidity or solvency problems, an acute situation arises in which decisive action is required. The situation can only be remedied by taking quick and effective action.

Two of our lawyers are members of the Dutch INSOLAD association of insolvency practitioners. As such, they are regularly appointed by several courts as official receivers and administrators in often large and complex bankruptcies and suspension of payment cases. This makes Wiggers Ross Advocaten | Belastingkundigen the ideal partner to advise you on all matters related to insolvency.

PRACTICAL ASPECTS

Many government-associated issues concern real estate, a field in which Wiggers Ross Advocaten | Belastingkundigen offers ample expertise for several specific areas such as ownership, mortgage rights, servitudes, statutory rights and obligations between neighbours, and building contracts. We combine this with our expertise on zoning plans and environmental permits (formerly known as planning permission).

We have extensive experience of litigating, negotiating and advising in these areas as well. If litigation is necessary, Wiggers Ross Advocaten | Belastingkundigen can defend your interests up to the highest instance – the Dutch Council of State in The Hague.

Wiggers Ross Advocaten | Belastingkundigen has opted to assist entrepreneurs and institutions in these areas, rather than representing the authorities. This prevents our firm from being faced with any conflicts of interest.
