About
Provided by GÖRG Partnerschaft von Rechtsanwälten mbB
Our Restructuring and Insolvency experts work nationally and independently, concentrating on insolvency proceedings of every size, and with extensive expertise in many different industries.
Our work begins at a moment when many other advisors would be at their wits' end. Our promise is a pragmatic structuring of insolvency proceedings instead of just administration.
Out-of-court restructuring advice
GÖRG has earned an excellent reputation in the area of restructuring and advice in matters of insolvency law. In addition to distressed businesses, we also advise their management, shareholders or creditors.
Restructuring In-court: Debtor-in-possession proceedings and protective shield proceedings
We have particular experience in out-of-court restructuring and reorganisation measures, as well as matters relating to debtor-in-possession proceedings and therefore generate an understanding of the crisis “from the inside”.
Out-of-court trusteeship and experience as a restructuring partner
We frequently act as an out of court trustee and have ranked among the Top 3 in Germany for many years now given the number and significance of the cases we have managed.
We achieve optimal proceeding results for our clients - always with a sensitive balance of interests among all parties involved in the proceeding - using our business acumen and outstanding legal expertise.
