The improvement of the creditors' influence on the proceedings, together with the extension of the rights and measures that can be taken in the proceedings and by the debtor, has substantially changed the focus of the insolvency regime. German insolvency proceedings can now be seen as a serious competitor in the international restructuring arena. | Cross-border Chapters |
