S&C has been involved in the most significant restructuring matters in recent years around the world and is trusted by debtors, creditors, investors, boards and government actors to deliver practical and straightforward advice in the most complicated situations. These strengths have never been more relevant than during the COVID-19 pandemic with its unprecedented impact on businesses across the globe. Our restructuring assignments range from large debtor and sovereign representations to distressed M&A for both buyers and sellers and from out of court recapitalizations to in court contested matters.

S&C is unique in its ability to handle all elements of a corporate restructuring – whether or not an insolvency proceeding is involved – with world-class resources, wherever the matter arises.
- Innovative Techniques. We approach restructurings as sophisticated deal lawyers, with broad experience in corporate law and global transactional practice. We are equally comfortable with in court and out of court execution paths.
- Going Concern Reorganizations. We specialize in fast and efficient going concern reorganizations, and our mindset, culture and toolbox reflect this emphasis.
- Distressed Litigation. When disputes arise in the reorganization context, we call on the substantial resources of one of the world’s leading litigation practices.
