Restructuring and Insolvency Law

The Restructuring and Insolvency Law practice advises Austrian and international creditors and debtors on restructuring and refinancing matters as well as on all legal aspects of corporate insolvency.

We advise and represent both creditors and debtors comprehensively in the structuring, negotiation and implementation of viable reorganisation and restructuring measures for companies in financial difficulties, regardless of whether these measures are taken as a preventive measure to avoid illiquidity or over-indebtedness or are already part of reorganisation or insolvency proceedings. Our focus is on liability issues, capital maintenance issues and avoidance issues.

We support managing directors and board members that are exposed to great pressure in crisis situations. Due to the extensive experience and economic understanding of our lawyers, we know the pitfalls that can stand in the way of a successful turnaround and point out appropriate courses of action and make recommendations.

Our lawyers are also frequently consulted by banks and funds in connection with the transfer of receivables and the acquisition of non-performing loans. In order to achieve the best possible claim recovery, debt collection and realisaton of collateral, we work in close cooperation with the Dispute Resolution Practice Group.

In addition, the specialists of the M&A Practice Group support us in bundling the expertise of our firm in distressed mergers and acquisitions, both before and in insolvency proceedings.
