PLUTA continues to grow

Dr Hubertus Bartelheimer, a lawyer and restructuring consultant from Berlin, and his five-strong team will join the restructuring company PLUTA with effect from 1 March 2020. This means that the law firm, which is active throughout Germany, is continuing to grow and above all is strengthening its consultation business. Dr Bartelheimer has been active as a restructuring consultant for five years and has managed roughly 20 debtor-in-possession proceedings in this time. He has more than 15 years of experience as an insolvency administrator, an activity he concluded in 2015, after having gone through a total of more than 2000 proceedings. Moreover, the 50-year-old lawyer also provides entrepreneurs and companies hit by a crisis with advice on issues involving business law and also advises investors in the process of acquiring companies affected by a crisis or insolvency.

“I look forward to joining PLUTA with my team and to make our expertise available to PLUTA. Working from our office in Berlin, we intend to use the synergies resulting from the cooperation with PLUTA’s well-established and powerful teams to contribute to the further growth of PLUTA, including in the consultation business,” said Dr Hubertus Bartelheimer.

By integrating the newcomer’s team, the PLUTA branch office in Berlin is continuing to expand as planned. Since the beginning of 2020, Mr Sebastian Laboga has been a managing partner of PLUTA, strengthening the law firm’s business with his team. He is one of Germany’s most frequently appointed insolvency administrators, which means that the Berlin branch office is now very well positioned both strategically and in terms of personnel. The teams headed by Mr Laboga and Dr Bartelheimer, together with all of the other experts in PLUTA’s organisation, provide the best cover fo the sectors of insolvency administration and restructuring consultancy. Together with the new colleagues, PLUTA’s team in Berlin now includes more than 25 members.

Due to this expansion, the PLUTA team in Berlin, and also that in Essen, have had to move to new offices. Thanks to Mr Sebastian Laboga and his team, PLUTA is now also represented at four new locations, namely in Bochum, Dortmund, Erfurt and Rostock. Mr Laboga said, “PLUTA continues to consolidate its position throughout Germany. All of the members of my 40-strong team are very pleased about this cooperation. Together we are forging ahead with the implementation of PLUTA’s expansion strategy.”

Since the company was founded in 1982, PLUTA has constantly grown and now has a staff of approximately 500 employees working in more than 40 branch offices in Germany, Spain and Italy. The law firm’s range of services include legal consulting, insolvency administration and restructuring.
