Co­lo­gne, Oc­to­ber 10, 2017 – The Hei­del­berg District Court an­noun­ced the in­sol­vency pro­cee­dings against Bo­ris Be­cker. The for­mer pro­fes­sio­nal ten­nis player and th­ree-time Wim­ble­don cham­pion was de­cla­red bankrupt by the Bri­tish High Court on June 21, 2017. An in­sol­vency de­cla­red wi­thin an EU coun­try ap­plies th­roug­hout Eu­rope; the­re­fore, pay­ments can no lon­ger be made to Bo­ris Be­cker in Ger­many to re­duce a debt. If a pay­ment is ne­vert­he­less made, busi­ness part­ners can be char­ged again by the in­sol­vency ad­mi­nis­tra­tor.

The in­sol­vency ad­mi­nis­tra­tors Mark Ford, Fin­barr O’Con­nell and Gil Le­mon of Smith & Wil­liam­son LLP have cal­led in Co­lo­gne-ba­sed in­sol­vency and re­struc­tu­ring ex­pert Jan Groß to con­duct the in­sol­vency pro­cee­dings in Ger­many. Mr. Groß, who is a part­ner at the au­dit and con­sul­ting firm of Eb­ner Stolz, will iden­tify as­sets and claims of the for­mer ten­nis pro that are lo­ca­ted in Ger­many so that they can be ad­ded to the in­sol­vent es­tate.

Eb­ner Stolz and Smith & Wil­liam­son LLP have suc­cess­fully worked to­ge­ther on cross-bor­der pro­cee­dings many ti­mes in the past. At more than 15 lo­ca­ti­ons in Ger­many, Eb­ner Stolz has more than 60 la­wy­ers, tax ad­vi­sors, au­di­tors and busi­ness con­sul­tants spe­cia­li­zing in re­struc­tu­ring.
