Law Firm of the Year Insolvency and Restructuring
Insolvenzverwaltung

Insolvency administration

A structured process for a secure future.
Each and every company faces a mountain of challenges to maintain its foothold on the market. Sometimes the unexpected happens and companies need to wipe the slate clean and start afresh. Modern insolvency law has moved away from simply dismantling companies and now offers more opportunities for reorganisation by providing effective instruments to help manage insolvency. Reacting to situations like this prudently and quickly gives companies the chance for a new start. This is why we see insolvency proceedings first and foremost as an opportunity for reorganisation.

Renowned across Germany, our insolvency practitioners have been appointed by courts for more than 50 years to assist businesses of all sizes – from small and medium-sized enterprises to corporate groups listed on the stock exchange.

Our overriding objective is to ensure that companies can continue as a going concern – including for the benefit of both their creditors and employees. After all, everyone involved has a lot to gain from a successfully reorganised company. Our experience from working on well over 1,000 insolvency proceedings has taught us that a promising outlook is enough to encourage all parties to work hard to turn things around – from the debtor company itself to its employees, creditors and investors.

Our law firm’s interdisciplinary set-up allows us to deliver impressive results in all disciplines.

From standard insolvency administration, liquidation and custodianship to protective shield proceedings, debtor-in-possession management, employment law in cases of employer insolvency and business consulting, our highly specialised and interdisciplinary teams leave no stone unturned.

To help them keep abreast of the latest developments and play an active role in shaping the future, our specialists write articles for numerous specialist publications, are members of expert bodies advising the legislature and are involved in insolvency associations and working groups.
