    2020-12-08

    On 26 May 2020, the House of Representatives of the Dutch Parliament passed the Act of Court Confirmation of Extrajudicial Restructuring Plans (CERP). This long-awaited plan for a new restructuring law in the Netherlands features elements of both the US Chapter 11 procedure and UK schemes of arrangements. It is an important development in the evolution of Dutch insolvency practice.

    2020-10-20

    Het zijn rare tijden. Thuiswerken is de norm geworden.

Gelukkig zijn er ook dingen die wel hetzelfde zijn gebleven: de bestuurdersaansprakelijkheidsupdates van Ploum bij aanvang van een nieuw kwartaal.
