Recovery Services

Reorganization or restructuring situations require special knowledge. Especially in a crisis, it is important to have the right restructuring partner at your side.

We help you to make the right decisions for your company in order to lay the foundations for your company to be successful on the market again once the reorganization has been completed.

 

Our aim is to strategically position you for these challenges so that you and your financing partners have a solid basis for planning security:

• Gain planning security
• structure the financing
• increase the speed of change and
• minimize risks at the same time.
  

We are established restructuring consultants and act as problem solvers or sparring partners and support you as coaches. We take an interdisciplinary approach and use our many years of restruc­turing/reor­gani­zation expertise from a large number of projects. We don't leave you on your own – our partners are also there for you.

This is precisely why we believe in our concepts and want to implement them with you!

Our success has always been based on the success of our German clients: Rödl & Partner is always on the spot where clients see potential for their economic involvement.

 

Recently in particular, German companies have been confronted with complex global problems.

Through its international recovery services offices in Brazil, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Spain and the USA, Rödl & Partner also offers comprehensive international support in overcoming business challenges.

We are your competent partner for questions relating to the various levels of restructuring, whether it be on:

The last few years have shown that management must follow new paradigms, risks have increased significantly in recent years and volatility on the financial markets has become a permanent condition. Digital achievements are attacking established competitive advantages.

More than ever, it is therefore important to act rather than react. Only by continuously questioning your own business model can you avoid the risk of heading for the corporate siding in the wake of globalization and digitalization and becoming a restructuring case or, in the worst case, a reorganization case.

Our auditing and consulting teams have many years of experience in auditing and supporting companies of all sizes in various industries.

On this basis, we create sustainable and valid restructuring concepts.

Corporate crises have a wide variety of triggers and can be the result of a number of causes. However, they often become apparent because a further financial requirement arises and the financing partners demand a restructuring concept or a going concern forecast. Nevertheless, every crisis situation is unique.

This makes it all the more important to have the specialist knowledge required to overcome these crises. Our interdisciplinary experts in restructuring, organizational and process consulting use this expertise to the benefit of your company and regain the trust of all parties involved.

Do I have to file for insolvency?

In the context of a crisis, it can also happen that individual stakeholders want to rule out the possibility of filing for insolvency. We can also help here and assess whether there are grounds for filing for insolvency, such as over-indebtedness or inability to pay, as part of an IDW S11 audit. 

In this context, we are also familiar with the StaRUG (Act on the Stabilization and Restructuring Framework for Companies) and can discuss with you which restructuring and reorganization options are available to you in the event of imminent insolvency.

If it turns out that the financial situation is not sufficient now or in the future and insolvency has already occurred or is imminent, there are grounds for filing for insolvency.

There are now many types of insolvency proceedings, whether self-administered insolvency, protective shield proceedings or insolvency plan proceedings, we are at your side to support you.

We work internationally and on an interdisciplinary basis with various national and international experts, in particular from the fields of operational restructuring, insolvency law and (distressed) M&A.

Rödl & Partner advises a large number of companies in special situations every year.

We have therefore built up a wealth of experience in the restructuring and reorganization of companies and the generation of value for all stakeholders involved. We preserve value for all stakeholders.

In addition, we have extensive expertise in supporting company sales, both buy-side and sell-side transactions as well as group restructurings - from a tax, legal and business perspective.

We want to shape change together with you and make your company fit for the future again. Our team therefore not only has extensive experience in developing concepts. We believe in our restructuring concepts and are happy to implement them together with you, as an interim manager specializing in restructuring (CRO Chief Restructuring Officer) in out-of-court proceedings or as a restructuring manager in court proceedings, with or without directors' and officers' liability.

We assume responsibility in a practical and needs-oriented manner and are highly efficient thanks to our interdisciplinary approach and our own branches abroad.

There is no “one-size-fits-all” solution! It is therefore important for us to be able to provide you with tailor-made support during a corporate crisis.
