For over 25 years, we have been advising companies of various sizes and from a wide range of sectors on their communi­cations in complex restructuring processes as well as during phases of re­aligning and future-proofing the business. This encompasses support around efficiency programmes, large-scale layoffs, site closures, relocation of production to another country, distressed M&As or, as an ultimate measure, re­organisation or insolvency.

We support our clients in navigating complex stake­holder environ­ments, often with diverging interests, to stay in control of how the business activities are perceived and thus protect the company’s reputation. To this end we develop narratives to secure support for the company’s strategic direction and convey the future viability of the company in a credible manner.

From their experience in guiding count­less businesses through restructuring processes, some­times through to insol­vency proceedings, our experts have gained in-depth expertise and are adept at communi­cating effectively with the various internal and external stake­holder groups.

We develop target group-specific messages and tailored formats for communi­cations to manage­ment, work­force and co-determination bodies, customers and suppliers, media and the public as well as policy­makers and regulatory authorities. In addition, we can provide access to key decision makers and multi­pliers from the world of politics and the media.

We create process security and act according to a pre-defined schedule, and we collabo­rate closely with business and restructuring consultants, lawyers, trustees, and insolvency ad­min­istrators.

Many years of experience, expert advice as well as implemen­tation of measures from a single source in exceptional business situations – this is what sets us apart and what our clients can rely on.
