A deep understanding of the legal specificities of insolvency proceedings ensures professional support at all times, particularly in contract drafting and negotiation. We work closely with our teams from employment law and IT law, the Business Valuation department and our Financial practice, which specialises in supporting sales processes and financing the sale of companies in crisis.
Our advisors have many years of experience in providing legal advice on Distressed M&A projects in a wide range of industry sectors. The due diligence in the run-up to the transaction regularly takes up a great deal of space due to the limited design options in the contract itself. The same applies to labor law advice in connection with acquirer concepts, transfer companies and negotiations on reconciliation of interests and social compensation plans. Against the background of our expertise in insolvency law, we are familiar with the special features of Distressed M&A transactions and have extensive experience in company acquisitions and sales – both in Germany and internationally – particularly in close cooperation with insolvency administrators.
Depending on requirements, further experts from Rödl can be called in, in particular for the purpose of optimal process structuring or for the development of a bidding process. We have a highly specialised team of management consultants who regularly support company acquisitions from insolvency.
