Max is a partner based in our Munich office and part of the Restructuring Practice.
He brings broad professional experience in turnaround management consulting and has been providing restructuring services to clients for more than 18 years. His main focus has been on the automotive industry, both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers. As the industry undergoes disruptive change, challenges in reshaping business models, pressure on profitability, and increasing (re)financing and liquidity requirements are among the most important issues for which companies seek Max’s advice. He has also advised numerous companies in the industrial goods and chemical sectors, often within private equity environments.
His services for clients include ready‑to‑implement restructuring concepts, performance‑improvement programs, business and liquidity planning, independent business reviews for lenders and OEMs, and options and recovery analyses for major stakeholders. Max also has extensive experience in (re)financing and balance‑sheet restructuring cases. In addition, he advises companies, insolvency administrators, and lenders in in‑court restructuring proceedings.
As a lawyer with a strong focus on insolvency law, I am frequently acting as the interface between financial and legal matters
Max holds a law degree from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and a PhD from Christian Albrechts University of Kiel.
As a true automotive enthusiast, he bought his first moped at age 12 — and even tuned it. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and children in the Bavarian mountains and lakes, playing tennis with friends, and skiing in Austria and South Tyrol during the winter months.
