Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH advised EMOVY GmbH on its search for a new investor and the takeover of its business operations by INSTADRIVE THG GmbH. This will preserve the innovative business model for marketing greenhouse gas reduction quotas (GHG quotas) and secure jobs in this forward-looking industry – made possible by Luther's special expertise in energy law.
EMOVY, a specialist in the processing of GHG quotas, has played a key role in promoting the transition to climate-friendly mobility in the past. With the takeover by Berlin-based INSTADRIVE THG GmbH, part of the international INSTADRIVE group of companies, the business concept will now be strategically expanded.
This gives the employees long-term prospects for the future. Luther's well-known distressed M&A team, led by Oliver Köhler and Dr Thorsten Becker, advised EMOVY on the sale process as part of the insolvency proceedings and made the transaction a success.
Luther's special expertise in energy regulation was the basis for the takeover and continuation of business operations by INSTADRIVE THG GmbH. Close cooperation with the insolvency administrator Olaf Spiekermann from Brinkmann & Partner enabled a viable solution for the continuation of the business to be achieved.
"It was crucial for us to secure not only the business model but also the jobs at EMOVY. Thanks to Luther's outstanding support, we were able to find a solution in a difficult situation that makes both possible. The team led by Oliver Köhler and Dr Thorsten Becker provided support with great commitment, professional expertise and foresight, paving the way for a new future," said insolvency administrator Olaf Spiekermann.
