Trust Solutions
Trust models for the management, securing, and/or utilization of assets, up to and including liquidation — especially in crisis and special situations.
Trust Solutions
Trust as a component of
successful restructuring
Trust management has established itself as a flexible and effective tool in many restructuring scenarios. Its possible applications are as diverse as the challenges faced by companies and creditors in crisis situations. Whether for securing assets, neutral administration, or as an instrument for implementing a restructuring concept, we design trust models that are legally grounded and economically sensible.
Overview of types of Trust Services
Securing values
Security trust
We take care of the establishment, administration, and realization of collateral in the interests of creditors and ensure proper and fair implementation in the restructuring process.
Management and optimization
Administrative trust
Our team manages assets during restructuring, optimizes their value, and ensures transparent reporting to creditors and stakeholders.
Monetization and creditor satisfaction
Sale trust
The focus here is on the best possible sale of the asset held in trust through a private sale in the right market at the right time. The proceeds from the sale are generally earmarked for satisfying creditors.
Value optimization and further development
Restructuring trust
As part of the restructuring trust, we take over the fiduciary management of shares or assets, stabilize corporate management, and thus lay the foundation for successful restructuring. This often takes the form of a so-called dual-purpose trust, which combines the protection of creditor interests with the continuation of the company.
Liquidation of assets
Settlement trust
In the event of a company liquidation, we take care of the liquidation of assets, the settlement of claims, and ensure a fair distribution of proceeds to creditors.
Do you need a Trust Solution?
In which situations does a trust solution make sense?
Trust solutions are particularly suitable for companies, investors, financiers, and creditors who need a neutral, legally secure framework for the management, securing, or transfer of assets in a complex restructuring situation. All trust models have in common that the trustee acts in accordance with instructions and that the ultimate goal is to satisfy creditors as best as possible. As a rule, there is no deconsolidation of the seller’s balance sheet in such cases.
Typical applications include bridging periods until assets are sold, settling transactions outside of insolvency proceedings, or implementing restructuring concepts under the premise of economic control by creditors or trustees.
Thanks to its high degree of flexibility, a trust offers a wide range of possible applications. Which trust structure is appropriate and legally viable in each individual case depends heavily on the interests of the stakeholders involved and the initial situation in each case. That is why we carefully analyze the framework conditions in advance together with our partners and develop the appropriate solution for the situation.
Your trust in our expertise
We provide our clients with expert support in crisis situations relating to trust matters. In addition to comprehensive advice on individual Trust Solutions, we also act as trustees ourselves. On request, we can also put you in touch with experienced partners in the fields of operational control, financial management, and law.
As trustees, we always act in the best interests of the economic beneficiaries, as set out in the trust agreement. Discretion, trustful cooperation, regular coordination and open communication are all crucial to the success of a Trust Solution. This is why we see ourselves not only as an interim solution or an executive body, but also as active problem solvers and reliable mediators in complex situations.
