Not every claim is enforceable in insolvency proceedings.

Some are time-barred, others insufficiently documented, others fall outside the scope of insolvency altogether.

We conduct a rapid analysis of your claims, assess their enforceability, and advise on whether and how it makes sense to submit them to the proceedings.

If your debtor is failing to meet their obligations and is in difficulty with multiple creditors, an insolvency petition is often the most effective way to enforce your rights.

We prepare and file petitions that are persuasive and procedurally flawless.

An insolvency petition also has a psychological effect.

The debtor recognizes the seriousness of the situation and often seeks a resolution before the court even makes a decision. Sometimes the petition leads to rapid settlement of all debts.

We track all deadlines and formalities. We ensure your claim is properly examined.

We continuously monitor the progress of proceedings and keep you informed of everything that matters. We watch deadlines for filing objections, dates of hearings, and deadlines for various decisions.

You receive regular reports from us on what is happening, how it affects your claims, and what you can expect in the period ahead. And if the insolvency administrator disputes your claim, we represent your interests.

As a creditor, you have the right to oversee the work of the insolvency administrator and participate in key decisions.

The creditors' meeting and its decisions are of critical importance to the entire proceedings – and the creditors' committee approves asset sales and the administrator's remuneration, among other things.

We represent you at the creditors' meeting and, where applicable, on the creditors' committee as well.

The most effective way to acquire assets from insolvency proceedings is typically to enter the proceedings by purchasing claims against the debtor.

We help you distinguish between a genuine opportunity and a risky trap. Where we jointly identify potential, we find the path to securing it.

Insolvency proceedings move fast. You often have only weeks – sometimes days – to assess an investment. Meanwhile, the risks remain high and mistakes are costly.

We conduct express due diligence focused on critical risks. We examine the legal integrity of assets, their actual condition, encumbrances, and any potential ownership disputes.

We pay particular attention to risks specific to the insolvency context.

Acquiring assets from insolvency is just the beginning. Additional investment is often required to bring them to operational condition, employment matters need to be resolved, and business relationships need to be rebuilt.

We assist with post-insolvency development planning. We advise on restoring operations, negotiations with employees and trade unions, and re-establishing business contacts.

Every decision made by an insolvency administrator can be subject to scrutiny or challenge.

A procedural error can lead to liability for damages. A poorly handled asset sale can mean the loss of millions.

We provide comprehensive legal support from the opening of proceedings through to their conclusion. We monitor current case law and legislative developments — in a rapidly changing environment, staying informed is essential.

Disputes over the validity of claims, avoidance actions, and other incidental disputes are among the most demanding aspects of insolvency practice. Their outcome frequently determines the success of the entire proceedings.

We conduct all types of incidental disputes on your behalf.

We have experience with a wide range of legal constructions and know what arguments courts find persuasive.

The sale of a debtor's assets often determines how much creditors ultimately receive. The difference between a well-executed and a poorly executed sale can be enormous.

Drawing on our experience in M&A and real estate law, we structure sale processes to be efficient and to achieve the maximum possible price.

We assist with valuation and with selecting the most appropriate method of sale.

We handle the contractual documentation, the competitive process, and negotiations with investors.
