    Distressed M&A oder der Charme des Neuanfangs
    2023-06-16

    Jedem Anfang wohnt ein Zauber inne oder in jedem Ende liegt der Charme des Neuanfangs (sehr frei nach Hermann Hesse).

    Entsprechend dem Grundgedanken in Hermann Hesses Ausspruch bedeuten die zahlreichen, durch die COVID-19-Pandemie verursachten Unternehmenskrisen nicht nur ein Ende, sondern bieten auch Chancen.

    German Insolvency Law
    2023-05-23

    German insolvency law is governed by a comprehensive Insolvency Code that entered into force on 1 January 1999 and has since then regularly been subject to amendments from time to time. There is only one primary uniform insolvency procedure that applies to both individuals and companies. In the following, we focus on companies. Insolvency proceedings can be initiated against any natural or legal person, excluding certain legal persons organized under public law, such as the German Federation or the German states.

    Endlich Rechtssicherheit? - Zukunftsfinanzierungsgesetz stärkt Kundenrechte bei Insolvenz von Kryptoverwahrern
    2023-05-04

    Der Entwurf des Gesetzes zur Finanzierung von zukunftssichernden Investitionen (Zukunftsfinanzierungsgesetz („ZuFinG“)) vom Bundesministerium der Finanzen („BMF“) und dem Bundesministerium der Justiz („BMJ“) führt nicht nur elektronische Aktien ein, sondern stärkt auch Kundenrechte bei Insolvenz von Kryptoverwahrern. Zukünftig normiert das Kreditwesengesetz („KWG“), wie Kryptoverwahrer das von ihnen verwahrte Kundenvermögen schützen müssen und was mit dem verwahrten Kundenvermögen bei einer Insolvenz des Kryptoverwahrers passiert.
