Insolvency and Restructuring

circle light

Graf Isola, under the joint leadership of Alexander Isola and Stefan Weileder, has been a top firm for decades in the field of insolvency, reorganisation and restructuring.

We provide comprehensive advice on out-of-court and in-court restructuring and reorganisation measures and related insolvency law issues, including capital preservation, avoidance and credit protection law. In recent years, we have also acted in a supporting or advisory capacity in almost every significant insolvency case in Austria (insolvency administrator, debtor or creditor representative or representative on the investor side).

Our focus is judicial and extrajudicial insolvency and restructuring and reorganisation advice to debtors and creditors affected by insolvency – and in particular on insolvency administration. Our attorneys are regularly appointed as insolvency administrators.

We also have extensive expertise in complex refinancing negotiations with banks (syndicates) and in distressed M&A (acquisition of companies in crisis or from the insolvency administrator). As a full-service law firm, we can also draw on our specialised lawyers in other practice groups when needed and achieve bespoke solutions for our clients.

Alexander Isola and Stefan Weileder are consistently top ranked in all relevant legal reference works and handbooks.
