Insolvency Administration

Administration of Companies of all Sizes

In addition to advising companies on how to avoid insolvency and with impending insolvency, our experts can also provide support as insolvency administrators. Our comprehensive insolvency advice and support from specialist lawyers ensures that all legal conditions are met.

Efficient administration and handling

As insolvency administrators, our task is to find the best possible solution for creditors. We believe that in many cases this solution is only achievable by keeping an insolvent company in business, not by closing it down. Despite their financial difficulties, many such companies have tremendous economic potential that needs to be identified, developed and utilised for the benefit of creditors. We aim to make the insolvency process as smooth and efficient as possible. We always take into account the interests of everyone involved in the process and use a creditor information system to ensure transparency and efficiency.

Experience and expertise

CMS has extensive expertise in insolvency administration. Many of our insolvency administrators have advised on numerous major insolvency cases and insolvency plan proceedings. They deal with the insolvency proceedings personally and work in a team with other insolvency experts as required. Our specialist lawyers also contribute their extensive expertise in insolvency law.

Certificates

We are certified in accordance with the DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, “InsO Excellence” quality standard of the Gravenbrucher Kreis professional body, and GOI. This commits us to maintaining the highest standards of quality and service when handling our cases.

Insolvency assets and going concern

Administration of the insolvency assets is central to our work as insolvency administrators. Our aim is to generate optimum value from the insolvency assets while safeguarding as many jobs as possible. We use innovative solutions to enable the company to continue as a going concern and thus maximise the economic value for creditors.

Our extensive restructuring measures and recovery plans take into account all relevant aspects, from receivership to support for a restart following successful restructuring.
