The Insolvency Law Dimension of COVID-19 : Requirements for a New Risk Management for Reorganization, Restructuring and Insolvency Advisors in Crisis Intra- and Internationally Acting Companies in Light of Special COVID-19 Regulations

If a company enters a crisis, the clarification of legal issues involving reorganization, restructuring and insolvency advisors is often very complex due to the international nature of the issues. The associated problems are likely to increase significantly in the coming months and years as the COVID-19 pandemic threatens to trigger one of the largest ever waves of bankruptcies.
