In this file published by the MEDEF Paris magazine, Maître Patricia Guyomarc’h, with twenty-five years of experience, offers a new perspective on restructuring: legal technique cannot succeed without considering the psychological dimension. For the firm CG Law, Supporting a company in difficulty requires as much strategic rigour as empathy towards the leader.
The team of CG Law positions itself as a true «conductor» capable of coordinating the multiple stakeholders: courts, creditors, administrators, and employees. Maître Guyomarc’h emphasises that litigation is not an end in itself, but a strategic tool for amicable negotiation. By managing «fires» (summons, conflicts between partners) in parallel with restructuring, the firm protects the director from civil and criminal liability.
This educational approach helps avoid the "ostrich policy" and transforms crises into opportunities for recovery. Patricia Guyomarc’h advocates for the early use of amicable and confidential procedures, such as ad hoc mandate or conciliation, to protect the company's image before difficulties become public. She insists on the lawyer's role as mediator, who must combine Empathy and authority; placing the human at the centre of its legal engineering, the firm CG Law ensures robust defence and effective mediation to sustain businesses and their jobs.
