Die Fortführungsvereinbarung in der Insolvenz

The conclusion of a continuation agreement is an important means for customers to ensure the maintenance of their own production and the functioning of the supply chain in the event of the supplier's insolvency. Especially in closely timed production processes, the contracting parties will start negotiations very soon.
 The author examines the economic background to this contract and, after outlining possible contractual clauses, then focuses on the legal peculiarities associated especially due to a sudden change in the balance of power between the parties as a result of insolvency. Possible liability issues are also examined in due course.
