Krisen im Aufschwung

The figures for company insolvencies continue to decline: 9,900 cases in the first half of 2018 compared to 10,250 cases in the same period the previous year. However, the relative significance of insolvencies is increasing. The number of employees affected by them is around 20 per cent, while the commercial losses of 17 million euros caused by them in 2015 rose to 30 million in 2017. This is because middle-sized and large firms are increasingly among the companies going bankrupt, which is resulting in growing legal complexities.
At a symposium entitled ‘Krisen im Aufschwung’ (An Upswing in Crises), speakers and participants discussed company insolvency law, insolvency employment law, mass generation and compliance especially, along with industrial constitution law and the right of appeal.
This anthology offers in-depth access to these and other important issues relating to insolvency law and employment law in practice, and will not only appeal to academics but also to lawyers, business consultants, insolvency administrators and judges in particular.
