[VIDEO Episode 12] | What Are the First-Aid Measures When a Company Is in Trouble?

08 October 2025

Gilles Podeur, Partner in the Restructuring and Insolvency Department at Alerion Avocats, presents the first-aid measures for companies facing difficulties.

• Diagnose
  Identify early warning signs (cash flow tensions, URSSAF reminders, impatient suppliers, late payments) and update cash flow forecasts to assess both the urgency and the leeway available.

• Protect Critical Functions
  Preserve cash flow and allocate it to strategic areas that ensure the continuity of business operations.

• Seek Help
  Do not face difficulties alone. Use effective tools such as mandat ad hoc or conciliation, and rely on specialized professionals: lawyers, administrators, judicial representatives, and prevention judges.

In summary, diagnosing, protecting, and seeking help are the three key steps that can prevent a deadlock and support the recovery of a company in difficulty.
