Ms Jutta Rüdlin and her team begin fresh chapter at PLUTA – new branch office opens in North Hesse

PLUTA Rechtsanwalts GmbH has strengthened its presence in North Hesse since 1 October 2025. Attorney Ms Jutta Rüdlin has joined the firm with her ten-person team and now heads up PLUTA’s new Melsungen office. Going forward, the team will work closely with their colleagues in Hanover; in Erfurt, the restructuring experts are also based at PLUTA’s present branch.

After more than 25 years in medium-sized law firms, the experienced legal expert decided to make the move from BRRS to PLUTA. Prior to that, she had enjoyed many years of successful collaboration with the BRRS partners. In addition to Ms Jutta Rüdlin, attorneys Dr Katrin Schulte and Mr Götz Fuhrmann-Rüdlin have also joined PLUTA.

“This marks the beginning of a new chapter at PLUTA for me and my team. After many years in medium-sized law firms, I am looking forward to bringing my experience to bear in an interdisciplinary environment. I am particularly excited by the opportunity to actively support not only conventional proceedings but also debtor-in-possession restructuring processes,” said Ms Jutta Rüdlin.

The attorney is regularly appointed by the insolvency courts of North Hesse and Thuringia as an expert assessor, insolvency administrator and insolvency monitor. She is a member of the executive board of the Registered Association of Insolvency Administrators of Germany (VID) as well as a member of the corporate restructuring expert committee of the German Association of Management Consultancies (BDU) and of the Distressed Ladies – Women in Restructuring e.V. network. She has co-chaired VID’s business administration committee with PLUTA partner Mr Torsten Gutmann for several years.

Attorney Dr Katrin Schulte has been working in insolvency administration for almost 20 years. She specialises in advising on corporate insolvencies and litigating disputes. Attorney Mr Götz Fuhrmann-Rüdlin has been handling insolvency proceedings for individuals and legal entities for over 15 years.

“Ms Jutta Rüdlin and her team are the ideal addition to our firm. She combines legal expertise with business know-how and has a strong network in the industry. This is a great gain for our restructuring practice. We have known each other for many years. I am delighted that we will work together in the future,” said PLUTA partner Mr Torsten Gutmann.
