The financial problems of companies are usually resolved in pre-defined and regulated procedures governed by insolvency law. Recently, however, in practice, companies in financial difficulties and their creditors are increasingly resorting to voluntary restructuring, which is not part of insolvency law and related formal court proceedings. The so-called out-of-court restructuring is a voluntary agreement between the debtor and the creditors, governed by non-binding sources of law and allows the restructuring measures to be better adapted to the individual needs of the debtor and its creditors.
The master's thesis addresses the procedures of judicial and out-of-court restructuring and shows the typical structure of an out-of-court agreement on financial restructuring of a debtor. In the following, the master's thesis focuses on the comparison between judicial and out-of-court restructuring procedures and highlights the advantages and disadvantages of each procedure. Based on the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each procedure, the purpose of the master's thesis is to determine whether the out-of-court restructuring of the debtor represents a more optimal and favourable option of financial restructuring for both the debtor and the debtor's creditors.
