Insolvency & Restructuring

Today, corporate crises often arise from a combination of economic factors such as rising energy costs, inflation, labor shortages, and structural changes driven by digitalization. When a company faces financial difficulties, management, employees, banks, suppliers, and customers alike are confronted with complex challenges. An out-of-court restructuring or a reorganization proceeding under insolvency law can lay the groundwork for stabilizing a company and realigning it for the long term. Successful reorganizations require swift and decisive action, as well as the development of viable economic solutions that involve key stakeholders.

Our goal is to develop legal measures well in advance of a corporate crisis in order to avoid insolvency whenever possible. If insolvency proceedings are nevertheless unavoidable, we advise on careful preparation and support our clients throughout the entire process with the aim of achieving a sustainable turnaround or debt relief. At the same time, we represent the interests of creditors and contractual partners—such as banks, employees, suppliers, or customers—and consistently enforce their rights. Our Insolvency and Restructuring team, led by Dr. Eberhard Wallentin, who has been serving as an insolvency administrator for more than 30 years, combines in-depth legal expertise with extensive practical experience.
