Restructuring
Restructuring, self-administration, protective shield proceedings, and insolvency consulting create the capacity to act in corporate crisis situations.
Corporate crises demand decisive action, well-founded decisions, and a partner capable of maintaining a clear overview even in complex situations. SGP Restrukturierung supports companies, shareholders, and stakeholders through economically challenging times—ranging from initial analysis and the development and implementation of turnaround measures to guidance through complex restructuring and insolvency proceedings. Our range of services encompasses restructuring advice, turnaround concepts, self-administration and protective shield proceedings, and insolvency consulting, as well as support for creditors and other parties involved in the process. We combine business expertise, legal insight, and operational experience to provide structured guidance to companies during difficult phases and to develop viable solutions. Our goal is to assess complex situations, clearly define the necessary steps, and guide companies and their stakeholders safely through processes of change.
Service Area
Core Services
Every restructuring begins with a unique starting situation. That is why we support companies throughout the entire change process—from the initial assessment and the development of viable turnaround concepts to the successful implementation of legal and operational measures.
Expert Opinions
Sound decisions begin with an objective assessment of the current situation. Our restructuring reports, going-concern forecasts, and other business analyses provide transparency regarding the economic situation and form the basis for robust restructuring decisions.
Preventive Restructuring (StaRUG)
Not every crisis has to lead to insolvency proceedings. We assist companies in leveraging the opportunities offered by StaRUG at an early stage and initiating restructuring measures in good time, in order to preserve their operational viability and corporate value.
Insolvency Consulting
When economic difficulties loom, a swift and legally sound assessment is crucial. We advise management, shareholders, and creditors on all matters of insolvency law and work together to develop viable solutions.
Turnaround Management
Successful restructuring is not achieved on paper, but through implementation. We support SMEs, family-owned businesses, and corporate groups in planning, managing, and executing turnaround measures, ensuring that strategic decisions translate into operational results.
Trust Services
Trust and reliability are crucial, particularly during restructuring processes. Our fiduciary solutions ensure the legally secure management of assets and create certainty for all parties involved.
Protective Shield Proceedings
The protective shield procedure offers companies the opportunity to implement necessary changes at an early stage under court protection. We manage the entire process and create the conditions for a successful restructuring.
Self-Administration
Self-administration enables companies to continue actively managing the restructuring process. We provide support during the preparation, implementation, and ongoing management of the proceedings, combining legal certainty with the ability to take entrepreneurial action.
Custodianship
As independent custodians, we support self-administration proceedings with professional expertise, ensuring transparency and an orderly process in the interest of all parties involved.
Insolvency Plans
A compelling insolvency plan opens up new prospects. We develop economically viable and legally robust concepts that enable the company’s continued existence and align diverse interests.
Insolvency Administration
Clear structures, swift decisions and a reliable partner are also crucial in insolvency proceedings. As insolvency practitioners, we take responsibility for ensuring the proceedings run smoothly, safeguarding assets and providing transparency for all parties involved. Whether it involves going-concern, restructuring with a transfer of assets or orderly liquidation – we support every procedure with the aim of achieving the best possible outcome for creditors, employees and other stakeholders.
