The reasons for a solvent liquidation can be complex. They can range from ongoing (operational) losses, structural market changes, or increased competitive pressure, to the absence of a succession plan, disputes among shareholders, failed restructuring attempts, and/or a failed attempt to sell the company.
In these and similar situations, shareholders should be aware of their risks and available options, which we will assess for you in a comprehensive and transparent manner as part of a targeted “exit options analysis” (an evaluation of the risks and feasibility of a structured M&A process, a solvent liquidation, and a liquidation under insolvency proceedings).
If the shareholders decide to wind up the business through a solvent liquidation, we advise on the necessary steps and also assist with the liquidation as an appointed liquidator on the board.
If necessary, we can also provide business and tax advisory services in collaboration with partner consultants, enabling us to manage and execute the entire liquidation process.
