Die unterschätzte Gefahr persönlicher Haftung
Ähnlich wie „Die sieben Todsünden“ nach dem Historiker Sebastian Haffner (1964) im Jahr 1918 zum Untergang des deutschen Kaiserreichs geführt haben, gibt es für den Geschäftsleiter einer GmbH, GmbH & Co.

Und das bedeutet oftmals die Vernichtung der wirtschaftlichen Existenz.
Claimant law firms are working hard to develop routes for holding parent companies and their boards responsible for trading activities carried out through subsidiary companies.

Yes, says the Delaware Bankruptcy Court in the case of CII Parent, Inc., cementing the advice routinely given by bankruptcy counsel to borrowers in default. We always counsel borrower clients in default of the risk associated with lenders taking unilateral actions pre-filing, stripping debtors of valuable options and assets. Thus, we normally recommend to always obtain a forbearance and undertake the preparations required to file a bankruptcy petition immediately upon forbearance termination, although whether or not to file depends on variety of factors that should be considered.
