The amendment to the Restructuring Law, signed by the President of the Republic of Poland on 5 August 2025, will enter into force 14 days after its publication in the Journal of Laws. Therefore, we are approaching the end of the transition period during which it is possible to initiate restructuring proceedings under the existing rules.
Once the amendment enters into force, a number of new regulations will apply that will significantly change the practice of conducting arrangement proceedings, in particular with regard to voting on the arrangement, the position of secured creditors and mechanisms for assessing the profitability of restructuring in relation to bankruptcy. It is worth noting that the changes provided for in the amendment are systemic in nature and affect both the course of the proceedings and the scope of the debtor’s rights and the obligations of the supervisor or administrator.
What does the change in restructuring law mean for entrepreneurs?
For many entrepreneurs, the current moment is therefore the last real chance for restructuring under the existing model. In subsequent publications, we will present a detailed discussion of the most important changes that will come into force with the entry into force of the amendment, and their practical consequences for participants in restructuring proceedings.
