What We Think

How sustainable restructurings succeed

A successful restructuring demands a holistic view on the situation — an understanding of the urgency and implementation of short-term as well as long-term measures to ensure performance going forward. When a company is successful again due to measures implemented during restructuring, the impact and reward extends from the company, to the employees, owners, and all players involved in the project. Hear from our Head of Restructuring, Europe, Lutz Jäde, on how to achieve successful turnarounds and why this field is so special.
