In-court restructuring proceedings are important tools for successful restructuring. These tools can assist in breaking deadlocks in order to find agreement and the right condition to conduct the restructuring, especially in complex situations.
There are several in-court restructuring proceedings, which provide tried and tested avenues for successful restructuring.
Moderation of negotiations and confirmation of consensual agreements in court
Financial restructuring, with or against opposing creditors, according to StaRUG (German corporate stabilisation and restructuring law)
Court-supervised self-administration proceedings to restructure the business with effective tools according to the Insolvency Code
Insolvency proceedings managed by a court-appointed administrator can be a fast and efficient way to restructure
Professional preparation and a solid restructuring concept are key prior to commencing restructuring proceedings. Time, communication, management of operations and implementation of required restructuring measures are crucial during each restructuring proceeding.

Our services:
Proceedings: In contrast to the other restructuring proceedings, a court-appointed administrator takes control (preliminary insolvency administrator in charge prior to the opening of insolvency proceedings). The appointed administrator takes charge to stabilise the debtor and maximise the outcome for all creditors. Restructuring of the debtor will be completed by an asset deal or insolvency plan after the insolvency proceedings have opened (typically three months after filing).
Advantage: Restructuring option, if critical creditors do not support any of the other restructuring proceedings or the requirements of other restructuring proceedings cannot be met; avoidance of potential conflicts of interest, unbiased and independent party is involved
