The automotive and mobility sector is undergoing a profound transformation. Electric mobility, digitalisation, changing supply chains and rising capital costs are presenting companies across the entire value chain with significant financial challenges. For suppliers, OEMs and mobility service providers, this results in complex restructuring needs that require early and structured action.
We have been supporting companies in the automotive and mobility sector for many years with complex (financial) restructuring – ranging from out-of-court reorganisation to self-administered insolvency proceedings. Our Automotive & Mobility practice combines in-depth expertise in restructuring and insolvency law with extensive experience in banking and finance. Through close collaboration between our German offices, we ensure that our clients receive tailored, legally sound and efficient support.
Our lawyers understand the industry cycles, margin pressures and the specific challenges arising from technological change and increasing regulatory requirements. This in-depth understanding of the sector enables us to develop restructuring solutions that are tailored to the specific circumstances of the automotive industry.
