Restructuring

Practice

We are market leaders in the largest and most complex restructurings and insolvencies, with extensive experience representing a wide range of parties.

Summary

Companies, directors, financial institutions, institutional investors, hedge funds, acquirers, trustees and administrators call upon us to design and execute value-maximizing strategies. We are critical advisers in restructurings in and out of court, liability management transactions, recapitalizations, exchange offers, debt/equity conversions, distressed M&A and bankruptcy litigation.

Clients look to us as leaders in DIP and exit finance, where we work as a single team with our Finance lawyers. We also collaborate seamlessly with colleagues in areas including Capital Markets, IP & Commercial Transactions, Mergers & Acquisitions, Real Estate and Tax.

We have advised on high-profile restructurings across industries including energy, retail and transportation – among them, Aeroméxico, California Resources, Chesapeake Energy, Delta Air Lines, Ford, Hertz, Purdue Pharma and Toys “R” Us. We are a firm of choice for cross-border restructuring, including in Asia, Latin America and Europe.
