Project description
 

Rules of company law aimed at protecting creditors are most important when distributions to shareholders and the proximity of insolvency are concerned. That both of these issues come with additional risks when a company is a member of a group of companies, has been overlooked so far. This project develops strategies to cope with these group-specific risks for creditors.
