STANDARD INSOLVENCY ADMINISTRATION

Even reorganisation involving court proceedings also offer a good chance of success.
Although out-of-court reorganisation is generally a very commendable approach to take, there are some situations where this is not possible. Examples include cases where the shareholders cannot reach an agreement, material contractual arrangements inhibit reorganisation or an uncompromising creditor delays or blocks the reorganisation. In such instances, well-prepared, orderly insolvency proceedings can also result in companies being able to continue as a going concern. As in all cases of insolvency, the quicker the correct course of action is taken, the better the outlook.
Wherever possible, we focus on preserving the company’s value and on increasing its assets. During this difficult time, it is especially important that companies do not view us as an administrator in the technical sense of the word.
Instead, our role is to find solutions. With our specialist expertise, pragmatic approach and dedication to our work, we identify the right approach for every company and provide advice every step of the way.

OUR MISSION: ACTIVELY SHAPING PERSPECTIVES.

Since German insolvency law was reformed by the Act on the Further Facilitation of the Reorganisation of Companies (ESUG), we have also been involved in numerous instances of debtor-in-possession management – either by supporting the board of directors with the self-administration of the process or by acting as a custodian . We have overseen numerous successful restructuring processes in both protective shield and debtor-in-possession proceedings.

In addition to our insolvency administration activities, we can provide advice in the following cases and areas:

Reorganisation and restructuring
Acting as a trustee in cases of executive board/director liability and during company acquisitions and sales within and outside of insolvency proceedings
