White & Case Strengthens Its German Restructuring And Insolvency Team With New Partner Hire
Dr. Schulte-Kaubrügger joins with two local partners, five associates and a team of 42

Berlin, January 4, 2010 ... Global law firm White & Case LLP has strengthened its Restructuring and Insolvency team with the appointment of Dr. Christoph Schulte-Kaubrügger.

Dr. Christoph Schulte-Kaubrügger will be moving to White & Case's Berlin office after spending 13 years at Schröder Rechtsanwälte. For several years now he has been Germany's most active insolvency administrator in terms of numbers of proceedings. The insolvency courts and in particular those in Berlin-Charlottenburg, Dortmund, Potsdam and Neuruppin have shown their faith in his skills. His major cases include juraXX Eugen Boss Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH, Brandenburgische Konsumgenossenschaft eG and Wohnungsbaugenossenschaft "Mendelssohn-Viertel" eG.

Dr. Schulte-Kaubrügger will be accompanied by a team consisting of two local partners (Dr. Markus Wischemeyer and Dr. Philipp Hackländer), five associates (Jens Brömmelmeier, Danny Koch, Dr. Yassin Dimassi, Dr. Astrid Düring and Jülide Hummel) as well as 42 other staff, most of whom have a commercial background.

"Dr. Schulte-Kaubrügger is an outstanding addition. The know-how he brings with him is precisely what we have been looking for in the current market situation and just what is required by insolvency courts and our clients. By expanding our business in Berlin, Brandenburg and North-Rhine Westphalia we have secured a truly excellent nationwide line-up for the opportunities which lie ahead," commented Markus Hauptmann, the regional section head for Germany.

White & Case in Germany has an excellent reputation in the field of restructuring and is the only international law firm to be ranked in the top tier for insolvency work by international legal directories.

The proceedings which the White & Case insolvency team is currently engaged in include the insolvency of the department store group Hertie. Strengthened by Dr. Schulte-Kaubrügger and his team White & Case has one of the largest restructuring and insolvency practices in Germany.

"In my view White & Case offers the ideal platform for dealing with major and difficult insolvency proceedings. I am greatly looking forward to working in a close network together with my new colleagues, and especially with Sven-Holger Undritz and Biner Bähr," added Dr. Schulte-Kaubrügger.
