In this in-depth study published in The Legal Week, Maître Patricia Guyomarc’h offers a critical analysis of the link between French law and the European regulatory framework. The stakes are considerable: how can the recovery of companies operating in several Member States be secured when French preventive tools, such as *mandat ad hoc* and conciliation, struggle to be fully integrated into Community regulations.

The article accurately demonstrates that the absence of automatic recognition of these procedures at the European level hinders the effectiveness of business safeguarding. Maître Guyomarc’h advocates for legislative changes to protect assets and debt renegotiation agreements beyond national borders.

This doctrinal contribution illustrates the firm's ability to handle complex international cases. It offers management essential forward-looking insight to anticipate legal risks associated with cross-border insolvency and underscores the importance of a comprehensive prevention strategy, coordinated at the European level.
