Filing the insolvency petition
Submit the application to the Local Court München in good time
When private individuals or companies in Munich show serious liquidity problems, filing for insolvency is often unavoidable: under the Insolvency Code, the application must be filed promptly with the competent local court in Munich. Anyone noticing early signs of illiquidity, or sensing that over-indebtedness may be looming, should not delay the next steps, because the time windows are tight.
The deadlines are clearly defined. From the point at which illiquidity occurs, there are at most three weeks to properly file the application. Where over-indebtedness is established, the period can be up to six weeks. In both cases, the same applies: the earlier clarity is achieved, the better mistakes and unnecessary complications can be avoided.
A late filing is by no means a mere formality. Anyone who acts too late exposes themselves to significant legal risks; a delay can be classified as delaying insolvency filing and trigger criminal consequences. To properly prepare the necessary steps in Munich and reliably meet deadlines, support from lawyers in Munich can help implement the process in a structured and timely way.
Options in insolvency
Presentation of advantages and disadvantages by MTR Legal lawyers München
When companies or private individuals in Munich fall into a serious financing crisis, insolvency law offers several ways to regain the ability to act. Which solution fits depends on the starting situation, time pressure, and objectives. The following options, among others, may be considered:
- Early restructuring under the Corporate Stabilisation and Restructuring Act (StaRUG)
- Continuation options through self-administration during insolvency proceedings
- A protective shield procedure that can be used preventively
- Standard insolvency proceedings as an established approach in many situations
Lawyers in Munich first look closely at the specific situation, review documents, risks and available scope, and clearly explain which alternatives are realistic. The central question is which procedure most effectively secures the interests of the person or business concerned while remaining practical. An orderly process with clear steps is just as important as a solution that provides not only short-term relief but also opens up viable prospects.
Sound support from lawyers from Munich keeps all relevant conditions in view. On this basis, tailored approaches can be developed that create stability even in a tense economic situation and make the path towards a predictable future easier.
Corporate restructuring in Munich: ways out of the crisis
Anyone running a company in Munich can draw on several instruments in difficult times to restructure and stabilise the business. Which option fits depends on the stage of financial distress, the attitude of creditors, and the requirements of the competent court. Our lawyers analyse the starting situation, outline possible steps, and support implementation through to the decision and beyond.
StaRUG in Munich – restructuring before filing for insolvency
The StaRUG gives businesses in Munich the opportunity to take corrective action early, before the situation fully escalates. At its core is a plan tailored specifically to the affected creditor groups, allowing for an orderly realignment. Our lawyers assess the chances of success, help develop the concept, and coordinate discussions with the relevant parties.
Protective shield procedure: acting immediately before a filing obligation arises
Where there is financial distress but no obligation to file for insolvency, the protective shield procedure may be considered in Munich. A prerequisite is a certificate confirming that restructuring is feasible. Our lawyers help compile the documentation and, following court approval in Munich, develop a solid plan within three months.
Self-administration during insolvency proceedings
Under self-administration, management remains able to act; a custodian accompanies the process in a supervisory and supportive role. An insolvency plan supported by the creditors is decisive. Our lawyers prepare the required planning with you, get negotiations ready, and work towards securing the necessary approvals. The decision of the competent local court in Munich is decisive for getting started.
Standard insolvency proceedings
When illiquidity can no longer be prevented, the standard procedure is opened by the local court in Munich. Creditors file their claims with the competent insolvency administrator within the specified deadlines, so that they can be taken into account as proceedings continue.

Insolvency clawback and creditor protection
Any challenges to claims – We help companies in München
When an insolvency administrator reclaims amounts already transferred as part of ongoing proceedings, this often causes uncertainty among creditors. In Munich in particular, the question quickly arises as to whether the requested repayment is actually valid. What matters is this: such claims do not arise arbitrarily but only under clearly defined statutory conditions. Lawyers in Munich can systematically review the claim and help you consistently protect your interests.
The starting point is always a close look at the details of your specific case. Only a precise assessment of the payment, timing, background, and specific circumstances shows whether the requirements for a claw-back claim are actually met. The review often reveals that essential requirements are missing or the reasoning does not hold up. In such cases, lawyers in Munich help fend off unjustified repayment demands and avoid financial disadvantages.
The goal is a clear assessment of your situation, so that no avoidable losses arise in the insolvency proceedings. With a structured approach and careful evaluation, your claims remain protected and your position is strengthened. This way, creditors in Munich receive reliable support to effectively defend themselves against improper repayment demands.
