Dr Artur Bunk

My approach to legal advice is anything but perfunctory. I take a comprehensive approach, analysing each case not only from a legal standpoint but also through its economic implications—an essential factor in restructuring scenarios. Legal acumen alone is not enough; understanding the economic objectives is just as critical. I am fully committed to my cases—complex matters are not simply delegated to junior consultants. My clients see me actively engaged in their cases, ensuring I am not merely a 'rainmaker' but a dedicated practitioner.

Artur is an experienced restructuring advisor with over 20 years of cross-border expertise, combining a deep understanding of business challenges with the practicalities of financial restructuring and litigation. From the outset of his career, Artur has been drawn to cross-border matters, guided by a curiosity for different cultures and a passion for solving complex business problems.  

His tenure as VP-Restructuring at KfW-IPEX, one of Germany’s largest financial institutions, provided him with unique insights into the internal procedures of lending institutions. Representing consortia of banks in high-stakes restructuring negotiations, Artur developed a profound grasp of the unspoken rules governing financial and legal dynamics in distressed situations.  

Throughout his career, Artur has played a pivotal role in complex cross-border litigation, where his business acumen and creative problem-solving proved instrumental in case analysis and courtroom presentations. His court experience has also sharpened his awareness of the practical risks in contract implementation—an often-overlooked element in legal negotiations.  

Driven by the belief that similarities in business problems often outweigh differences in legal systems, Artur’s practice emphasizes collaboration across jurisdictions. He regularly works as part of international teams of lawyers and advisors, bringing creativity and innovative solutions to each challenge. Next to Germany, only in the past 3 he has been advising many clients in Eastern Europe and the US, always in close cooperation with local counsel. 

This dedication led Artur to found BLPA 18 years ago, with the mission of building a team passionate about supporting business clients and committed to thinking beyond traditional approaches. His extensive experience, strategic mindset, and global perspective have made him a trusted advisor in restructuring and cross-border matters.
