Clients impacted by distressed situations rely on our bankruptcy and restructuring lawyers to enforce their rights and maximize value, both in the United States and in cross-border matters. Our deep understanding of pre- and post-insolvency issues from every stakeholder’s perspective enables us to help clients prevent and prepare for a financial crisis and, when needed, serve as trusted advisors to respond effectively to financial distress. With attorneys in London and across key U.S. restructuring hubs, we are well positioned to guide clients through restructurings that involve multiple jurisdictions and legal regimes.
We provide clients with creative solutions in bankruptcy, restructuring, and insolvency matters that prioritize recovery or return on investment. Because our Bankruptcy & Restructuring team works closely with our finance and corporate attorneys, we understand the underpinnings of financial and corporate transactions and offer practical tools to reduce crises or prevent them from arising. Our lawyers regularly advise on Chapter 11 and Chapter 15 bankruptcy and on cross-border insolvency issues, including foreign main and non-main proceedings, automatic stays, recognition under the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency, creditor rights, comity, and center of main interests (COMI) determinations. This experience allows us to give insolvency professionals, lenders, boards, sponsors, and foreign representatives a clear roadmap to plan, implement, and defend cross-border restructurings across complex, multijurisdictional proceedings.
Chambers USA notes that clients praise the team for “outstanding service” and “responsiveness, timeliness and accuracy.” Several of our attorneys, in offices ranging from Texas and Louisiana to Delaware and Georgia to New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Virginia, are ranked in Chambers, and four of our attorneys are Fellows of the American College of Bankruptcy. Our London-based and U.S.-based bankruptcy and restructuring attorneys work together seamlessly on matters that span the U.K., Europe, and the U.S.
Our attorneys regularly advise premier financial institutions, institutional investors, private and non-bank lenders, equity sponsors, portfolio companies, debt and equity investors, boards of directors and managers, indenture trustees and other fiduciaries, CMBS special servicers, asset purchasers, insurers, and sureties in connection with a broad variety of restructuring, bankruptcy, and insolvency matters. We advise and represent all parts of the capital structure in a wide range of special situations, including distress-related litigation, transactional and governance issues, distressed M&A, enforcement strategies, and cross-border disputes.
Our team is industry agnostic, but has strong experience in a variety of sectors, including energy, health care, commercial real estate, insurance, financial services, retail, technology, diamond and jewelry, food and beverage, publishing and media, aviation, gaming and entertainment, hospitality, transportation, and accounting.
