Debt enforcement is comprehensively regulated on a federal level in the Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law (Schuldbetreibungs- und Konkursgesetz; SchKG). The SchKG as such only stipulates procedural rules and must therefore al-ways be examined in connection with a multitude of legal fields, also on a trans-national level. With regard to this de-manding and multifaceted activity, we have the expertise and experience required in dealing with authorities, creditors and debtors as well as financial institutes. This allows us to specifically call in and deploy the relevant specialists from our respective practice areas according to the case at issue. 

The provision of advice in the context of the SchKG is often linked to litigation. We furthermore ad-vise and represent creditors as well as debtors in reorganisation processes, financial restructurings, administration and bankruptcy proceedings (on a national and international level).

Our activities with regard to Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law include in particular: 

• Debt enforcements as well as subsequent litigation
• Seizure / Freezing orders
• Assistance in bankruptcy and administration proceedings
• Assistance in financial restructurings and reorganisation scenarios
• Enforcement of foreign judgments
