Insolvency Administration

Insolvency Administration.

We have been managing corporate insolvencies in all industries and of all sizes including listed stock corporations for many years. Our goal is to save companies and jobs while best satisfying the creditors. The German Insolvency Statute (InsO) offers multiple structuring opportunities ranging from reorganizations with a transfer of ownership to social plans with reconciliation of interests to insolvency plan proceedings. The instruments are selected jointly with the court, creditors, shareholders and directors. We view our dual mandate task as first identifying the available options and then implementing them after coordinating with our clients.

Two of our partners are well-established insolvency administrators who are regularly appointed by insolvency courts in the Northern Germany as insolvency administrators, trustees and experts. In each proceeding, we additionally rely on different teams of attorneys and proceedings managers fitting the requirements of the respective operation and complexity of the proceeding. Our entire team and all partners of our law firm thus display extensive professional experience in insolvency and restructuring cases.

Satisfying creditors as best as possible while preserving opportunities for reorganization is our motivation in all insolvency proceedings.
