Restructuring and reorganization
THE RIGHT STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS
Our experience shows that investors, works councils and unions as well as other creditors often support an out-of-court restructuring if it is made clear to them that the company will not be able to survive otherwise. In order to achieve the reorganization goal for your company, it can be useful to draw up a judicial restructuring plan and make it clear to the parties involved that this will be implemented if no out-of-court settlement is reached in the short term.
Often, this way similar restructuring effects can be achieved for the company as in court proceedings. starkpartners will help you to develop a strategy for negotiations with creditors and to implement it afterwards.
