German term or phrase:
Rettungsteam
English translation:
rescue team
German term
Rettungsteam
This is from a text about a company that has had financial difficulties and is in the middle of accepting takeover bids.
I was thinking 'bailout team', but was not sure whether this is appropriate in the context.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
rescue team
restructuring task force
IMHO I associate a group of firemen or other rescuers with dogs and the like going in to rescue someone. In this particular setting I would rather resort to a team that saves companies by restructuring them, therefore my suggestions.
