Das Haftungssystem des Umwandlungsgesetzes bei Carve-out-Transaktionen

Carve-out transactions structured as spin-offs under the German Transformation Act are gaining strategic importance but are subject to a complex liability regime that may significantly constrain their practical use. Melina Maren Grauschopf examines the extent to which this framework affects the suitability of spin-offs as structuring tools, explores ways to mitigate the resulting burdens, and proposes reforms aimed at balancing creditor protection with the interests of carve-out participants and the need for transactional flexibility.
