What Voigt Salus. Rechtsanwalte Und Steuerberater Partg Mbb does

Voigt Salus is a German professional services partnership (PartG mbB) specializing in insolvency administration, corporate restructuring, and tax advisory. Registered with Amtsgericht Charlottenburg as Partnership Register entry 1033 B, the firm operates from ten German offices — Berlin (headquarters, Rankestraße 33), Bonn, Chemnitz, Dresden, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt am Main, Hannover, Köln, Leipzig, and Aachen — and is one of Germany's most frequently court-appointed insolvency administrator practices, with partners appointed across more than 20 insolvency courts (Amtsgerichte). The firm has supervised over 4,500 insolvency proceedings with combined creditor claims exceeding €3.8 billion.

The service portfolio spans the full lifecycle of corporate restructuring: Schutzschirmverfahren (protective shield proceedings under ESUG), Eigenverwaltung (self-administration), standard Insolvenzverwaltung, Insolvenzplan (insolvency plan) drafting, and out-of-court advisory mandates. It also offers specialized services for hospitals (Krankenhaussanierung) and the social economy (Sozialwirtschaft), plus corporate law, labor law, tax advisory (in cooperation with Schwantag Kraushaar), and insolvency anfechtung (avoidance actions). Clients include distressed companies ranging from SMEs to large enterprises (AMEVIDA SE with 2,400 employees, OTEMA Gruppe ~€100M revenue, Fläminger Spirituosen ~€220M), nonprofit and social welfare organizations (AWO Berlin, ASB Berlin, Kolping Gruppe, hospitals), and creditor committees. Technology supports include KI-gestützte Prozesse (AI-supported processes) and the GIS creditor information platform operated via STP Portal GmbH.

The business model rests on two pillars: statutory insolvency administration fees governed by the German Insolvenzrechtliche Vergütungsverordnung (InsVV), calculated as percentages of insolvency estate value plus activity-based components, and quote-based advisory mandates billed hourly or at fixed fees. Distribution occurs primarily through court appointment (the dominant channel, reinforced by unanimous creditor committee proposals that bind courts under German insolvency law), supplemented by direct advisory engagements and referrals from banks, creditors, and corporate clients. The 14-partner firm also holds ISO 9001:2015 and VID-CERT quality certifications and is consistently recognized by JUVE Handbuch (23 years), Handelsblatt/Best Lawyers (9 years), and brand eins (5 years).

Direct peers

• PLUTA Rechtsanwalts GmbH: Germany's largest dedicated insolvency administration and restructuring firm, with a national office network and similar court-appointment model. PLUTA regularly appears as Sachwalter or opposing trustee in cases where Voigt Salus acts as administrator, making it the closest direct competitor on the same mandate types.
• Schultze & Braun GmbH: Leading German restructuring and insolvency administration firm with nationwide coverage. Frequently engaged as Sanierungsteam in self-administration proceedings (e.g., Profilator) where Voigt Salus serves as court-appointed supervisor, making it a direct peer on restructuring mandates.
• BBL Bernsau Brockdorff & Partner: Specialized German insolvency administrator practice with broad court appointments. Competes directly for mid- and large-market insolvency administration mandates and self-administration supervisory roles across the same German insolvency courts as Voigt Salus.
• hww hermann wienberg wilhelm: Established German insolvency administrator firm operating nationwide. Competes with Voigt Salus for court appointments and offers comparable restructuring advisory, insolvency plan, and self-administration services for SMEs and larger corporates.

Broad incumbents

• White & Case (Restructuring Practice): Global law firm with a leading German restructuring practice advising on large cross-border restructurings. Overlaps with Voigt Salus on large enterprise mandates (e.g., Fläminger Spirituosen-scale cases) but competes from a full-service global platform rather than an insolvency-administration niche.
• Linklaters: International law firm with a strong German restructuring and insolvency practice. Competes with Voigt Salus on large, often cross-border distressed mandates and debtor/creditor advisory, while Voigt Salus's niche is court administration in mid- and large-cap domestic cases.
• Allen & Overy / A&O Shearman: Global law firm with a top-tier German restructuring and insolvency practice advising on cross-border proceedings. Competes for advisory roles on large enterprise restructurings where Voigt Salus might serve as administrator or Sachwalter.
• Hengeler Mueller: Premier German full-service law firm with a market-leading restructuring group. Competes for high-end restructuring advisory mandates and large insolvency plan procedures; differs by not specializing in court-appointed insolvency administration.
• Freshfields: Global law firm with a German restructuring practice advising creditors, debtors, and investors. Overlaps with Voigt Salus on large restructurings (e.g., investor processes, NPL transactions) but is positioned as a global full-service firm rather than a domestic insolvency administrator.

Others

• Roland Berger (Restructuring): Global management consultancy with a German restructuring practice that has acted as process adviser on Voigt Salus-led cases (e.g., Fläminger Spirituosen bidder process). Comparable as a restructuring ecosystem participant that competes for restructuring advisory mandates alongside the firm.
