Reorganisation: Individual solutions for a successful structural reorientation.

Restructuring often includes restructuring in the context of labour law. In the case of insolvency, special rules apply that can make it much easier to adjust the head count of a company. We have been advising, developing and implementing labour law restructuring in crisis and insolvency situations for many years, in a wide variety of industries and company sizes, both as insolvency administrators and as advisors in self-administration. This also includes on the investor side when an entity is acquired via insolvency.

Restructuring and insolvency often results in a change to the ownership structure; original shareholders are replaced by strategic or financial investors, who also bring the necessary financial backing to cover any change of this nature. We are well aware that the M&A process runs much faster in a corporate crisis context when there is pressure to act and a ticking clock. As restructuring specialists, we know all facets of the various restructuring options, as well as the speed and complexity of such transactions.

Corporate succession has two parties: the transferring owner and the successor. In a family context there can be clashing interests. The younger generation seeks responsibility but still keeps its own interest at heart. Leadership understanding and business culture may differ. Yet, current owners and successors still have an equal interest in preserving corporate values ​​and jobs, as well as in preparing and structuring the handover in due time and in such a way that it sets the enterprise up for the future.

We know from our many years of experience that – in cases of succession – proper generational change in companies requires a holistic approach – which includes elements of inheritance law, tax law, corporate law and, in many cases, mediation and restructuring too.

Non-performing loan transactions have played an important role for both banks and investors for decades when it comes to cleaning up their loan portfolio.

In recent years we have been able to advise on a large number of NPL transactions. This experience, coupled with our expertise as a restructuring firm, puts us in a strong position to structure and successfully implement due diligences contracts and the subsequent workout processes with precision and speed.

Since the beginning of 2021 another item has been available in the restructuring toolbox in the form of the “Law on the Stabilization and Restructuring Framework” or StaRUG for short. We have dealt with this process intensely from its inception – in line with our approach of providing holistic advice on how to deal with a crisis – and supported two of the first nationwide restructuring projects under its remit.
