Restructuring & Special Situations
Turnarounds, IDW S6 opinions, self-administration, and post-merger integration — the special situations where the measure list is the easy part and the will and ability of the people involved decide the outcome.
Corporate Insolvency in Germany: The Three Windows Before It's Too Late
Insolvency is rarely a sudden event. It is the end of a process that began far earlier. How Germany's three statutory thresholds work (imminent illiquidity, over-indebtedness, illiquidity), which restructuring tools open in which window (StaRUG, ESUG, protective shield), and why execution decides the outcome, not legal knowledge.
Corporate Restructuring: How It Works, and Why Execution Decides the Outcome
What corporate restructuring is, how it differs from a turnaround and a transformation, and the four phases it follows. What decides success in the end: whether your people actually move, explained through the 3C model and a real €65M program.
