Insolvency is a state of financial distress in which a business or person is unable to pay their bills. It can lead to insolvency proceedings, in which legal action is taken against the insolvent person or entity, and assets may be liquidated to pay off outstanding debts.

In that context, it can also facilitate the development of capital markets. In case of a financial crisis in which the entire enterprise sector is in distress, an effective insolvency law can provide a useful means of ensuring that private creditors contribute to the resolution of the crisis. Insolvency is process which is simplified and taken care of by insolvency lawyers.
