Discuss a mandate

What it is about

When the operational management suddenly drops out or an upcoming restructuring requires an experienced executive, fast and legally sound action is decisive. The mandate includes taking on full operational responsibility in the company. Depending on requirements, this takes the form of a granted power of attorney (Prokura) or formal appointment under commercial law as interim managing director.

From day one, the focus is on securing ongoing operations, transparent communication with owners or supervisory boards and consistently pursuing the agreed restructuring or stability goals. Every mandate is designed from the outset for a clear end date and includes the structured induction of and handover to the permanent successor.
