Alexandra Schluck-Amend specialises in corporate and insolvency law. She advises on reorganisations and restructurings, with a focus on the preparation and implementation of reorganisation concepts both in out-of-court restructurings (including pre-insolvency restructuring proceedings according to the German Corporate Stabilisation and Restructuring Act) and during insolvency proceedings. She advises corporate groups on internal and external financing and reorganisations as well as on distressed M&A. This often involves avoiding liability risks for the parent company, other group companies and their management teams and boards in the event of a subsequent insolvency or sale of a participating group company. Alexandra also advises creditors of insolvent companies or companies in crisis on the best possible enforcement of their interests and the appropriate strategies in crisis and insolvency situations. Her practice also covers avoidance matters, risk-reducing behaviour and ESG advice, with a focus on corporate governance and risk compliance. Alexandra has special automotive as well as energy sector expertise.
Alexandra joined CMS in 2002 after her business administration and law studies and after having worked at Deutsche Bundesbank as well as in insolvency administration and academia. She was made partner in 2008 and has been heading the firm’s Restructuring & Insolvency practice since 2018.
Alexandra also teaches at the University of Heidelberg (since 2002), at Andrassy University Budapest (since 2005), where she was appointed honorary professor in 2013, and at the University of Nuertingen-Geislingen (since 2012). In 2025, Alexandra was appointed honorary professor by Heidelberg University.
