More about the firm

History of Volkmann Rechtsanwälte

Foundation and vision: 2014

In 2014, Dr Peter Volkmann laid the foundation for Volkmann Rechtsanwälte in Hamburg. From the outset the professional focus was on insolvency and restructuring law and on supporting parties in economic crisis situations.
The firm developed from this a way of handling mandates that combines legal review, commercial classification and regular coordination.

Expanding competences: 2015

In 2015 Volkmann Rechtsanwälte expanded its range of services in particular in corporate restructuring and turnaround.
The expansion concerned above all the link between insolvency-law review and commercially grounded restructuring and turnaround concepts.
Early crisis advice thus moved more strongly to the centre of the firm’s work.

Holistic expertise: 2018

In 2018 the area of insolvency administration and restructuring management at Volkmann Rechtsanwälte was developed further.
Their profound competence in the operational and procedural management of complex insolvency proceedings enabled significantly more efficient mandate handling.
This professional strengthening consolidated the position of Volkmann Rechtsanwälte as the preferred contact for companies and individuals seeking viable and sustainable solutions to economic crises.

Growth and consolidation: 2021

In 2021 Volkmann Rechtsanwälte moved into offices at Rathausstraße 2, 20095 Hamburg, Germany.
The location is easy to reach in Hamburg’s city centre and supports work with clients, courts and other parties to proceedings.
The team in administration, legal assistance and specialised advice was also expanded.

Setting standards: 2026

Today, in 2026, the focus of Volkmann Rechtsanwälte remains on insolvency, restructuring and commercial law.

Under the lead of Dr Peter Volkmann and together with a highly motivated team of specialists, Volkmann Rechtsanwälte provides holistic solutions for demanding legal and commercial challenges.

The emphasis is on individual mandate handling, comprehensible communication and legally sound solutions.
