    The new EU Reorganisation Act
    2023-11-03

    The EU Reorganisation Act (EU UmgrG) came into force on 1 August 2023. However, the EU Reorganisation Act does not fundamentally change Austrian reorganisation law. The previous legal system was only changed to the extent necessary to implement Directive (EU) 2019/2121 ("Mobility Directive").

    2021-12-27

    For many companies and the management, the crisis means that familiar business decisions and concepts, including the implementation of restructuring steps, have to be adapted to the crisis. There is a risk that the company will become insolvent and that the management will be held liable due to no or a too slow response.
