Restructuring –
Turning crisis into opportunity.
If your business is about to go into crisis or already in it, we’ll support you in the restructuring process.
In times of multiple crises, anyone can be affected.
The simultaneity of several global crises poses major challenges for national economies. Starting with the coronavirus pandemic, followed by the war in Ukraine and the problems in the Middle East, crises are being triggered that can affect every industry in one way or another.
Managers and entrepreneurs must deal with these crises and their consequences and plan ahead. There is now even a legal obligation to do so. In light of current developments, crisis-experienced restructuring advice is therefore crucial at both the business and legal levels.
It’s never too late: the earlier a crisis is addressed, the greater the chances of recovery.
Restructuring consulting – solution-oriented, assertive, and transparent.
A rapidly and dynamically changing environment presents companies with new challenges. Strategic, operational, and financial realignment is regularly necessary. Small trouble spots can quickly lead to corporate crises that threaten the very existence of a company. The StaRUG law requires management to identify crises at an early stage.
Banks, financiers, suppliers, customers, shareholders, and employee representatives have high personal and legal requirements for up-to-date information about the company’s financial situation, its future business model, and systematic controlling and reporting during the crisis.
Our restructuring consulting services specialize in the creation and the review for feasibility of restructuring concepts (IDW S6), business and financial planning, and the establishment of controlling and reporting processes. As part of our interim management services, we assume positions in management and executive boards during crises and insolvency. As M&A advisors in distressed situations, we actively support family businesses, family offices, financial investors, insolvency administrators, and trustees in the sale and purchase of low-yield and insolvent companies or parts of companies

New law, new opportunities – preventive restructuring under StaRUG.
The new German Corporate Stabilization and Restructuring Act (StaRUG) is the most significant reform of the German restructuring landscape in recent years. Companies are given a toolkit to secure their future. They remain in control and select the appropriate instruments and measures themselves. This preventive restructuring does not have to be made public.
Everyone around one table – restructuring mediation.
When negotiations with creditors stall, restructuring mediation can bring all parties together to work out constructive solutions. Restructuring mediation is not public, and restructuring agreements can be confirmed by the courts and become legally binding.

Protected and able to act – the protective shield procedure.
If all other instruments prove insufficient, a protective shield procedure under the German Insolvency Code is an option. Here, too, the company retains control and submits a plan to the court for overcoming the crisis.
