Bankruptcy/Restructuring

Lawyers in Jenner & Block’s Restructuring and Bankruptcy Practice handle a wide range of matters in high-profile and complex corporate reorganizations and related litigation across the United States. We also have extensive experience in bankruptcy cases involving financial fraud, corporate malfeasance and mass torts. We represent public and private companies in bankruptcy proceedings, out-of-court restructurings, debt for equity exchanges, “internal” reorganizations, and distressed asset purchases and sales. Our lawyers frequently represent investors, lenders, creditors or equity holders in bankruptcy cases, out-of-court restructuring transactions or workouts, and provide advice on credit issues, derivatives, structured finance and other sophisticated financial instruments, as well as other insolvency-related issues. We also represent trustees, examiners, creditors’ committees, and equity committees in Chapter 11 cases, as well as trustees in Chapter 7 cases. In addition, Jenner & Block has unparalleled experience in retiree committee representation and municipal restructurings. Our team has represented the official appointed committees of retirees in several major cases, including our current representation of the Official Committee of Retired Employees of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
