  • HOW TO GET OUT?
    • In the region of Lombardia these are the tools that the law makes available to us:
    • FOR CONSUMERS (natural persons not entrepreneurs)
      • Negotiated composition of personal crisis
        A procedure that allows direct negotiation with creditors to restructure debt, focusing on asset protection and income maintenance.
      • Debt discharge
        A mechanism designed to free the debtor from residual debt, offering the possibility of obtaining a "fresh start" after meeting specific requirements and overcoming the crisis phase.
      • Judicial liquidation
        A last resort solution, available in particularly serious situations, which involves the liquidation of assets to satisfy creditors and allow the debtor to make a fresh start.
    • FOR PROFESSIONALS AND SMALL ENTREPRENEURS
      • Simplified agreement
        Ideal for subjects in crisis with limited personal or business profiles; this procedure offers strong debt reduction in a rapid and simplified manner, protecting income or personal financial stability.
      • Negotiated composition of crisis
        A flexible tool that allows defining, through direct negotiations, a debt restructuring plan, adaptable to the specificities of the profile and financial situation.
      • Debt discharge
        In some cases, after going through the negotiated composition phase, it is possible to access a debt discharge mechanism that allows cancellation of residual debt.
    • FOR ENTERPRISES (large and small)
      • Negotiated composition of crisis
        The central tool for restructuring business debt, aimed at obtaining a plan negotiated with creditors that allows maintaining productive continuity.
      • Preventive agreement in continuity
        Aimed especially at larger enterprises. This tool allows drafting a restructuring plan that preserves business value and continuity, balancing creditor protection with the company's ability to continue operations.
      • Judicial liquidation and liquidatory agreement
        In irreversible situations, these simplified liquidation tools allow realization of business assets to satisfy creditors, eliminating the social stigma of bankruptcy.

The firm assists the client through the eligibility assessment, documentation, and the discharge application, which — if granted by the court — may represent a definitive resolution of the debt situation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FROM INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS IN ABBIATEGRASSO


  • Can an Italian citizen residing abroad access debt restructuring procedures in Abbiategrasso?

  • Does Italian debt restructuring affect debts owed in other countries?
    • Italian over-indebtedness procedures primarily affect debts governed by Italian law. However, under the EU Insolvency Regulation, the effects of proceedings opened in Italy extend to other EU member states. For debts in non-EU jurisdictions, recognition of the Italian procedure depends on bilateral treaties and local law.
    • Schedule a preliminary consultation

The firm recommends the procedure most suitable to the client's asset position and debt profile.
    • Schedule a preliminary consultation
