In addition to restructuring proceedings and the drafting of restructuring plans, the team also advises on preventive measures pertaining to insolvency. Other mainstays include the support in restructuring reports and restructuring loan agreements as well as corporate restructuring, which, like the advice on reorganisation measures, distressed M&A, and financial restructuring matters, is increasingly in demand.

She is supported by associate Alexander Holler, who focuses on financial and operational restructuring measures.
