Beyond insolvency - distressed M&A as a way to rescue a company

Special circumstances require individual advice

Complex economic conditions are often one of the factors behind companies experiencing cash flow problems or drops in revenue. And some of these companies may already find themselves in a position where insolvency proceedings have already been initiated. Restructuring often involves the acquisition or sale of companies in part or in their entirety. By focusing on their core areas of business, it is possible for companies to retain viable or profitable parts of their business.

At the same time, restructuring offers attractive opportunities for other market participants and investors to expand their portfolios. Our interdisciplinary advisory service provides companies with all the advice they need – from matters concerning insolvency and labour law to specific questions regarding company valuations.
