Turnaround, Reorganization & Insolvency

Complex restructuring and insolvency cases go beyond insolvency law.

Successful restructuring and insolvency proceedings are based on extensive experience in insolvency law and require in-depth knowledge in related fields such as M&A, financing, employment, tax and litigation.

Our restructuring and insolvency team has extensive experience in all aspects of domestic and cross-border restructurings and insolvency matters and works closely with our other practice groups.

A special focus of our practice lies in out of court restructurings, where we can draw on our full range of know-how across relevant related practice fields, such as M&A, corporate law, litigation, financing, employment, tax as well as our banking and insurance practice.

We advise clients on matters including:

  • distressed M&A
  • sale or acquisition out of composition proceedings
  • advice to directors, officers and shareholders of distressed companies
  • default negotiations under facility agreements, enforcement of pledges and other securities
  • mass dismissals, redundancies, social plans
  • special precautionary requirements and insolvency proceedings for financial institutions.

In insolvency and related court proceedings, we advise and represent debtors, their directors, officers and shareholders as well as creditors, helping with:

  • composition proceedings
  • bankruptcy proceedings
  • fraudulent conveyance actions
  • enforcement of securities
  • creditors' claims in bankruptcy
  • directors' and officers’ liability claims

They are intellectually really good, with good analysis, and very good for responsiveness.
