Our globally connected team of lateral thinkers and problem-solvers have spent decades executing the most complex domestic and cross-border restructuring and recovery solutions. This experience enables us to address situations understanding both the short-term needs as well as long-term objectives of our clients.
We regularly act for corporate debtors and insolvency practitioners as well as other stakeholders in a debtor's capital structure, including banks, bondholders and financial sponsors, in addition to funds and companies looking to invest in or acquire a distressed business.
Our group is made up of over 100 globally experienced, locally qualified specialists across North America, Asia Pacific, EMEA and Latin America. We routinely call on the expertise of colleagues from a number of legal disciplines including tax, corporate, and disputes, as well as our industry specialists, to deliver comprehensive, coordinated and urgently available cross-border solutions.
