Our Services:

Business Rescue
Practitioner Appointments

Our attorneys are qualified to act as expert business rescue practitioners, and bring strategic legal, financial, and commercial insight to each engagement.

Conversion of Liquidation
Proceedings to Business Rescue

We assist businesses and stakeholders in converting liquidation applications into business rescue, where recovery is still possible and preferable to winding up.

Creditor and Affected
Person Representation

We protect the rights of creditors, employees, and shareholders throughout the business rescue process by providing strong representation in plan voting, court applications, and negotiations.

Full Spectrum Advisory to
Practitioners and Companies

We provide end-to-end legal support to appointed business rescue practitioners and companies in rescue: from initial filings and legal notices to post-implementation monitoring and compliance.

Independent
Business Review

We offer independent assessments and reviews of a business’s critical issues, legal position and commercial viability, helping stakeholders make informed decisions about next steps.

Informal Restructuring
and Turnaround

Where formal business rescue is not yet appropriate, we help structure informal arrangements and turnaround strategies with creditors and stakeholders to avoid court proceedings and preserve operations.

Drafting and Implementation of
Finance and Commercial Agreements

We negotiate, draft, and execute complex funding and transactional documents that underpin successful rescue and restructuring strategies.

Restructuring
of Businesses

We guide businesses through operational, financial, and legal restructuring processes, including debt reorganisation, workforce changes, and asset optimisation.

Review of Business
Rescue Plans

We assess, review and advise on business rescue plans for legal compliance, financial feasibility, and alignment with the interests of stakeholders, whether acting for the business rescue practitioner, a creditor or other affected persons.

Why Choose Us

RSW represents companies in distress, their boards of directors, business rescue practitioners, creditors, employees, and other affected persons. Whether you are navigating formal business rescue proceedings or exploring informal turnaround strategies, we offer clear, results-driven advice.
