Lawyers for restructuring

The earlier companies acknowledge that their business or industry is under pressure, the easier it is to avoid getting into financial difficulties or becoming insolvent. Our restructuring lawyers help companies to recognise the warning signs and take prompt action.

By adopting a pragmatic approach, our specialist restructuring lawyers can steer companies through the crisis. Our long experience of advising in restructuring and insolvency scenarios significantly increases the chances that the business can be saved as a result. Importantly, the restructuring lawyers at CMS Germany work closely with specialists in all the other relevant areas of law, such as employment law, corporate law and tax law.

In addition to advising companies on how to avoid insolvency and in cases where insolvency is imminent, our lawyers for restructuring also provide support during insolvency itself. The experience gained by our insolvency specialists as court-appointed insolvency administrators is particularly beneficial here. 

Our restructuring lawyers are available to answer your questions at any time – their contact details are listed below.
