New synergies by combining competences

On June 18, 2009, the Syndikus Summit for In-house Counsels and Law firms took place in the Villa Kennedy, Frankfurt. This year’s main topic was "The role of the in-house counsels in times of crisis - challenges, risks and opportunities!"

Since requirements for in-house counsels increase in times of crisis, the Syndikus Summit offers a perfect platform for exchanging know-how combined with substantial presentations and lectures providing an extensive overview of recent developments and existing problems.

In their presentation titled "M&A in a crisis - acquisition of insolvent companies", our Partners Dr. Hartmut Krause and Dr. Walter Uebelhoer discussed - amongst others - the following topics:

• Essential aspects of the structuring
• The collaboration with the insolvency administrator
• The release of securities by majority decision of the creditor banks
