Distressed M&A / Carve-out / Restructuring

We support you across all phases of distressed M&A transactions, carve-outs and restructuring. We can also advise you on all legal, financial and strategic aspects of these complex projects, whether you are a seller or a buyer. Our holistic approach ensures that you receive the best possible advice on all facets of the transaction and can make well-founded decisions.

Examining the opportunities and risks of an acquisition in a crisis situation or out of insolvency

Whether you are an investor wishing to acquire a company or its assets out of insolvency or a seller aiming to minimise the risks of such a transaction, we can provide you with all-round support. We meticulously analyse the opportunities and risks. Building on this basis, we develop customised solutions to avoid the risk of contested transactions and other liability risks.

Advising investors and insolvency administrators

Our expertise covers both advising investors on buying out of insolvency and supporting insolvency administrators around the sale of company divisions or assets. We understand the specific challenges and particular features of these transactions, working with you to develop tailored solutions and supporting you as a sparring partner.

Strategic disposals and adding value through carve-outs

During restructuring processes, carve-outs can be an important tool for improving the financial health of a company. We advise you on the strategic planning and implementation of carve-outs in order to realise value and restructure your company along sustainable lines. We support both sellers and buyers to ensure that all parties involved are successful in achieving their goals.

Restructuring for better performance

Restructuring aims to improve the performance of companies affected by financial crises, through organisational changes and liquidity management. We can help you to find the right strategy and implement it successfully.
