    Rehabilitation of Scottish Re: No per se liquidation standard for insurance rehabilitation plans
    2022-08-23

    In In re Rehabilitation of Scottish Re (U.S.), Inc., C.A. No. 2019-0175-JTL (Del. Ch. Apr.18, 2022), the Delaware Court of Chancery ruled, as a matter of first impression, that in a delinquency proceeding for an insurance company under Delaware law, there is no per se requirement that a rehabilitation plan meet a “liquidation standard” to obtain court approval. Under the “liquidation standard,” a rehabilitation plan must provide claimants at least “liquidation value,” or the value they would have received in a liquidation proceeding.

    Doing business in the United States 2022
    2022-09-20

    The U.S. is one of the easiest jurisdictions in the world in which to do business. Regulatory barriers are generally low, establishing a branch or business entity is quick and easy, labor and employment laws are much more employer-friendly than in most other developed economies, and the legal system is well-developed and transparent. However, there are certain barriers to entry and challenges to doing business that should be taken into account before investing or establishing operations in the U.S.

    2020-06-05

    Die Corona-Krise zeigt bereits nach wenigen Monaten erhebliche Auswirkungen auf die finanzielle Lage vieler Unternehmen. Während sich die Bundesregierung bemüht, Hilfspakete auf den Weg zu bringen und Kurzarbeit zu fördern, sind die Folgen für viele Branchen vernichtend. Manche Unternehmen werden auf lange Sicht eine Insolvenz nicht abwenden können. Eine bevorstehende Insolvenz zeichnet sich oft dadurch ab, dass der Arbeitgeber nicht mehr in der Lage ist, seine Arbeitnehmer zu bezahlen.

    Die Unsicherheit, die von einer weltweiten Ausbreitung des neuartigen Coronavirus Sars-CoV-2 ausgeht, hat längst die deutsche Wirtschaft erreicht.

    Für viele Branchen hat sich das Geschäftsklima massiv eingetrübt. Selbst wenn staatliche Hilfen ausgezahlt werden wird man sich besser früher als später ernsthafte Überlegungen zu einer umfassenden Restrukturierung machen müssen.
