VTR as an independent specialist service provider
We see ourselves as hands-on implementers of complex packages of measures, taking into account the legal, financial and political framework conditions—and explicitly not as consultants or interim management brokers.
VTR focuses on the successful restructuring and transformation of companies. This almost always includes developing new or reorganising established business processes, often opening up new markets or technologies, as well as adapting structures through carve-outs and distressed M&A or cost-reduction programmes.
Change shapes value
VTR’s range of services spans from operational restructuring and the implementation of value-enhancing measures, through the handling of court restructuring and composition proceedings, to assuming trusteeships or shareholder-as-a-service mandates.
VTR supports and leads restructuring and transformation projects in the following business areas:
Our approach:
transparent and sustainable
VTR principals assume leadership roles and thus central responsibility for the measures to be implemented. We are committed to successful restructuring and turnaround: we remain accountable as entrepreneurs until the objectives of the stakeholders and the company itself have been achieved. We rely on proven tools, verifiable standards and consistent quality management in all areas of our work. We are one integrated team. There are no hidden costs or non-transparent arrangements. Dedicated contacts for our clients are also valued partners for banks, investors and cooperating advisors.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Special and change situations are often time-critical and require rapid, targeted implementation of measures. In addition, these tasks are usually added on top of the company’s day-to-day business. These specific conditions, with increased requirements for risk management and managing director liability, require experienced management expertise. At the heart of VTR’s Management Services is the temporary assumption of leadership responsibility in companies facing demanding special situations.
On a mandate basis, we assume relevant functions such as Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO) or interim CEO. Our services include strategic realignment, cost-structure analyses, cashflow stabilisation, and the coordination and implementation of all operational restructuring measures during the transformation process.
Our highly professional team of internationally experienced partners, implementers and restructuring specialists therefore focuses on
- operational restructuring and the turnaround of companies in special situations.
- assuming leadership roles and project responsibility in periods of upheaval and complex transformation processes, if required also in a statutory officer capacity.
- taking responsibility for complex, cross-border transformation processes and value-enhancement programmes.
VTR operates independently, efficiently and with a clear focus on feasibility—even under difficult political conditions within the company. Transparency, reliable communication and strong execution capability characterise this area.
DISTRESSED REAL ESTATE RECOVERY
In real estate projects, value preservation or value recovery is often only possible in the medium term. In addition, real estate restructurings are often only possible through extensive, coordinated individual steps in shaping the financing, ownership and tax situation. Both require a stable and resilient ownership and management situation.
VTR offers specialised solutions for distressed real estate projects (existing assets and development) and their owners, investors or financing institutions. The focus is on stabilising or restoring value—whether through repositioning, economic revitalisation or alternative realisation scenarios. VTR assumes asset and/or portfolio-type management with a multidisciplinary team of real estate experts, finance specialists and restructuring managers. In special cases, VTR also assumes the role of shareholder (“Shareholding-as-a-Service”).
By combining strategic real estate expertise with deep crisis experience, VTR succeeds in delivering sustainable solutions even in complex ownership structures and in stabilising and restoring debt service.
DEBT RECOVERY SOLUTIONS
Complex and multi-layered financing structures often represent an insurmountable obstacle to implementing operational transformation and restructuring measures. Legal or regulatory framework conditions may further restrict the ability to act.
This requires creative financing-side solutions to enable implementation speed and value preservation from day 1.
VTR develops and implements solutions for the repayment of critical financings, temporarily assumes the role of financier via SPVs without issuing new loans or alternative financings, and conducts specialised realisation processes such as auctions or trustee sales.
Here, VTR operates at the interface between creditor protection, business continuity and market realisation—always solution-oriented, discreet and with strong stakeholder expertise.
VTR: Dialogue at eye level.
Performance, to the point.
In every mandate, preserving the company’s value is the top priority, with the aim of securing its future sustainably. We focus on stabilising weaknesses within the organisation as quickly as possible so that a viable foundation can be created for the long term.

fields of responsibility. - VTR is independent, objective and unbiased.

- In addition to in-house team resources, VTR has an established network of specialists, enabling it to address even complex issues from a single source.
- VTR does not take equity stakes or make direct investments in client projects and does not provide financing or comparable funds.
