Laïd Estelle Laurent

Laïd Estelle is a partner in charge of the restructuring and insolvency practice at Jeantet. Her focus is to advise clients on the technical and operational implementation of restructuring operations.

Laïd Estelle works with groups of companies or SMEs in difficulty, as well as with creditors to protect their rights, within an amicable framework known as ‘prevention of difficulties’, including assistance with negotiations and renegotiation of commercial, financial, or bank debts, as well as within a procedural scope of safeguard, judicial reorganisation, or judicial liquidation, and, more generally, with restructuring strategies. She also assists potential purchasers, industrialists, shareholders, or funds involved in takeovers of companies in difficulty or carve-outs.

Laïd Estelle advises companies and groups of companies facing crisis situations or preventative/amicable or insolvency proceedings under French or European law, and works on cross-border or international transactions on issues such as site closures in France (carve-outs), risks of extension of proceedings, mergers of assets and liabilities, or liability claims against the group’s parent company.
