Law firm MEYER Rechtsanwälte Insolvenzverwalter to merge with PLUTA

Ulm/Lübbecke, Germany. MEYER Rechtsanwälte Insolvenzverwalter will merge with PLUTA Rechtsanwalts GmbH with effect from 1 April 2016. The law firm has a staff of 33 employees at six branch offices in Berlin, Hanover, Lübbecke, Münster, Osnabrück and Paderborn.

This means that PLUTA will continue its growth course and further consolidate its position, making it one of the largest insolvency and restructuring companies in Germany. In addition, PLUTA has branch offices in Italy, Spain as well as Poland and is a member of the international network BTG Global Advisory.

At PLUTA, Mr Stefan Meyer, who founded and built up the law firm of the same name, will continue to be responsible for the regions that he previously operated in together with his team and will in addition be managing director and partner of PLUTA Rechtsanwalts GmbH. The 49-year-old attorney for insolvency law and restructuring expert has many years of experience in restructuring companies and is regularly appointed as an insolvency administrator and insolvency monitor. Following his formal training course in banking, he completed his studies of law and economics in Bayreuth.

“We look forward to working together in future and completing the tasks ahead. PLUTA’s broad market position consisting of the three core areas restructuring, insolvency administration and legal advice offers the best prerequisites for success in the coming years even against the backdrop of a greatly changing market situation. In addition to Germany-wide positioning, PLUTA’s international orientation is extremely interesting and provides good potential for future growth. We are now very well positioned to complete the imminent tasks in the coming years,” explained Stefan Meyer.

Founder, managing director and partner Mr Michael Pluta said, “PLUTA’s staff have been strengthened by the addition of Stefan Meyer and his team, who are well-known restructuring and insolvency law experts and have outstanding knowledge of law and business management, a fact that they have proved time and time again in the past. We will in future continue our successful growth course. Our business orientation is also preparing us for out-of-court restructuring proceedings endorsed by European law.”
