Contingency planning and insolvency services

What EY contingency planning and insolvency team can do for you

We work with management and financial stakeholders to use the pace, protection, powers and flexibility available under applicable insolvency law to address the issues threatening a business’ survival.

We use contingency planning and insolvency services to create restructuring legacies by:

• Increasing the chance of a consensual restructuring through a credible “Plan B”
• Delivering a rescue that could not otherwise be achieved
• Preserving and recovering value, stabilizing critical services, and protecting jobs
• Providing a controlled exit

We bring an unrivaled ability to connect globally and deliver locally in multiple different jurisdictions.
