Protection of creditors’ rights during the liquidation of a legal entity

Liquidation of a legal entity is a complex process that can have significant consequences for its creditors. If the liquidating company owes you debts, it is important to understand your rights and take steps to protect them.

Liquidation of a legal entity: the main risks for creditors

1. Failure to receive full debt repayment. In the process of liquidation, the demands of first-tier creditors (tax authorities, employees) are satisfied first, and second- and third-tier creditors (suppliers, other counterparties) may receive only a part of their funds, or may not receive them at all.
2. Delaying the liquidation process. The liquidation process can continue for a long time, during which creditors will not have access to their funds.
3. This can lead to financial difficulties and losses.
4. The difficulty of debt collection. Collecting a debt from a liquidated legal entity is possible, but it can be difficult. Creditors must submit their claims to the liquidation commission within the specified period, and then, in case of refusal, apply to the court.

Why are there great risks of not getting a loan at all without a lawyer?

Often, individuals and legal entities, faced with the fact that their partner has announced their liquidation, decide to act on their own, but it is very difficult. The help of a lawyer is necessary due to many factors, and it is the specialist who will be able to help recover the debt. Don’t jeopardize your chances of getting a loan.

Ignorance of legislation:

• The process of liquidation of a legal entity is regulated by numerous laws and regulations. Without a thorough understanding of these regulations, you may miss important deadlines, fill out documents incorrectly, or not know how to protect your rights.

Complexity of procedures:

• The process of liquidating a legal entity can be very confusing. You will need to submit many documents, go through numerous procedures and communicate with various authorities. Without the help of a lawyer, you can get confused in this process and miss important steps.

Confrontation with the liquidation commission:

• The liquidation commission may not always act in the interests of creditors. Its main task is to satisfy the demands of first- and second-tier creditors, and third-tier creditors, which usually include suppliers and other counterparties, may not get their turn. A lawyer will help you protect your rights and achieve a fair distribution of the assets of the liquidated company.

The need to collect evidence:

• In order to collect the debt, you will need to provide evidence that it actually exists. These can be contracts, acts of completed works, invoices, other documents. A lawyer will help you collect all the necessary evidence and prepare it correctly.

Risk of litigation:

• If the liquidation commission refuses to meet your requirements, you will have to go to court. The legal process can be complex and lengthy. A lawyer will represent your interests in court and help you achieve a fair decision.
