Insolvency Law

We are at your side with all questions regarding insolvency law.

If com­pan­ies or cor­por­a­tions get into fin­an­cial crises, the pos­sib­il­ity of in­solv­ency quickly arises – whether jus­ti­fied or un­jus­ti­fied. In any case, spe­cial­ist ad­vice should be sought early on, be­cause in­solv­ency has nu­mer­ous con­sequences un­der cor­por­ate law, em­ploy­ment law, tax law or even crim­inal law. Fast and cau­tious ac­tion can help com­pan­ies avoid im­pend­ing in­solv­ency – or even use it as a re­struc­tur­ing po­ten­tial. On the other hand, in­solv­ency is not al­ways the worst op­tion for in­vestors. The de­cis­ive factors here are the type of cap­ital in­vest­ment, the in­vest­ment con­di­tions and the spe­cific cir­cum­stances ac­com­pa­ny­ing the in­solv­ency. All of this should be ex­amined by qual­i­fied and ex­per­i­enced law­yers be­fore a de­cision is made.

Our law firm has been suc­cess­fully rep­res­ent­ing cli­ents in court and out of court in im­pend­ing and on­go­ing in­solv­ency pro­ceed­ings since 1994. Our cli­ent base in­cludes bond and profit par­ti­cip­a­tion cred­it­ors as well as fund share­hold­ers. As part of our in­solv­ency law ad­vice, we ex­am­ine the cur­rent status of the com­pany or cor­por­a­tion con­cerned. We de­term­ine which re­struc­tur­ing op­tions ex­ist or which rights of sep­ar­a­tion or se­greg­a­tion can be as­ser­ted. We also sup­port our cli­ents in fil­ing claims in in­solv­ency pro­ceed­ings, de­fend­ing against claims by the in­solv­ency ad­min­is­trator, pre­vent­ing or en­for­cing claims for dam­ages de­pend­ing on their in­terests, and cla­ri­fy­ing li­ab­il­ity issues.
