Self-Administration

In economically challenging times, self-administration can be an effective solution for corporate restructuring. The management team remains responsible for continuing business operations and implementing the restructuring programme. We support you as the (preliminary) custodian in carrying out the rescue in a controlled and monitored process. Our self-administration services include detailed advice and support to ensure compliance with all insolvency law requirements.

Protective shield proceedings: managing the rescue yourself under court supervision

If the requirements for protective shield proceedings are met, we accompany you on the path to successful recovery right from the very first step. We work with you to develop a viable rescue plan and implement it until the proceedings are lifted, usually as part of an insolvency plan procedure. We remain by your side as competent advisors and monitor the entire process. Our aim is to organise self-administration procedures efficiently and to manage the insolvency assets effectively.

Our expertise for your restructuring

Whether self-administration or protective shield proceedings are involved, our experts have long experience of advising and supporting companies in crisis situations. We develop customised solutions and implement them efficiently. Working with you, we seek to put your company back on a sustainable path to success.

Insolvency proceedings in self-administration

Self-administration allows the management team to retain the right to run the business. This makes it possible to continue business operations and actively manage the recovery. As part of self-administration proceedings, we assist you in preparing and implementing an insolvency plan, and when filing the application and communicating with the insolvency court.

Support for self-administration as fully authorised representative

We can assist you as fully authorised representatives in self-administration proceedings. We then handle coordination and communication with creditors, official bodies and other parties involved, so that you can focus fully on restructuring your business.
